So they need to drop it about 583 meters before they fly over
the mountain climbers. That's a little over half a kilometer.
No way they'll succeed!!  It'll fall down in a valley.  They'd
better get a helicopter instead of a plane.

Edwin doesn't understand helicopters.
===================
A helicopter wouldn't deliver stuff.
It would pick up the stranded people.

PS All aircraft use knots as the unit of speed, and feet as altitude. Not kilometers.
