I be a little footsore after t' first two deep recoveries in t' beans, so I decided t' try one that might recover a little closer t' home. T' Stratocruiser D left t' pad straight, arrr, then arced back over our heads. Avast! Recovery was deep in t' beans t' t' NE, almost exactly where t' previous two had recovered. Avast, me proud beauty! All three flights were within 50' o' a plastic shoppin' bag that had blown into t' field.
