Moose,

Perhaps I spoke too soon.  Here is a shot I took against the sun shortly after I arrived at the airport, using AF, and it clearly shows the tow rope if one goes for the large view.  I can even see it at the normal size, so you can probably see it clearly.

I find myself getting weaker as I approach 89, and perhaps I was just getting tired and cold when the parachutists got to the landing zone.

Perhaps part of my problem was a strong, cold North wind that was causing me to let the camera wander on the monopod.

As I suspected, Manual Focus is the only way to shoot sky divers.  Auto Focus just wanders off into the wild blue yonder!

E-1 and Oly 50-200 at 200mm

Depends on the camera. There are many cameras that will nail that shot using AF.
