It had been launched just once, in 2007, and I just never flew it again. So I took a shot with t' biggest engine, knowin' it would be a very high flight and we'd lose sight o' it for a bit. I had some hope t' 12 inch orange crepe paper streamer would help us find it. Blimey! No such luck. It was a fast ascent, arcin' upwind (more or less t' t' south) and while we did see t' delay smoke none o' us saw t' deployment. It is lost, shiver me timbers, but it was a glorious way t' go!
