What would land first if it was dropped from a plane a bowling ball or a tennis ball?

According to the laws of physics they would fall at the same rate and land at the same time. However, all variables are not the same. The lightness of the tennis ball would leave it more apt to be affected by winds aloft, including updrafts. Additionally, the fuzzy covering of the tennis ball would make it subject to more wind resistance than the bowling ball, thereby slowing it down more. They would still strike the ground very close together, but the bowling ball would be first.If, however, a bowling ball and a baseball were dropped from the plane, they would strike the ground more-or-less simultaneously.
