Interesting. First I've heard of that.

I've had the experience of arriving at an uncontrolled
field to find myself surrounded by descending
parachutists. Unsettling, to say the least (on that occasion I do not
recall any announcement).


Oh brother.... That isn't a good situation.

Did you check the NOTAMs before departure? Were you in contact with
ATC at the time that occurred? Did you mention your experience to the
sky-diving operator when you landed?
