Payload delivery to a drop zone includes selecting a remote location at which to measure a remote wind stick and doing so based at least in part on current weather conditions. This is followed by determining a release point, flying to it, and then dropping the payload from the release point. Determining the release point includes estimating a wind stick at the drop zone based at least in part on the measurement of the remote wind stick.
