I was working at March AFB Tower one day and an inbound KC-10 reported a near-miss with a group of free-falling parachute jumpers while the tanker was descending from 6,000 MSL: down to 4,000 MSL.
The jumpers were at Perris Jump Zone and hadn't asked for permission before jumping.
It was close, very close, and thed KC-10 was doing about 250 knots.
