#1 Can anyone tell me how you drop leaflets? Are they loose in a big bin, or what?

Commando Solo? Wasn't he the Man From Uncle?

#2 The "drop" consists of tossing a box full of leaflets, connected to the C-130 Hercules by a static line, out the opened rear door of the aircraft. The static line causes the box to literally explode open, creating a leaflet "cloud" that drifts onto the desired population of ground troops. I think they also have a pod that fits under a fighter for dropping leaflets over places you wouldn't want to take a 130. And Napolean Solo was the Man from U.N.C.L.E.

#3 Probably a given but wind has to be taken into consideration as well.

#4 Commando Solo is Daisy Cutter's PR machine. I would definitely pay attention...
