Shortened Quest Brighthawk. Arrr!  Flew like a scalded dog, matey, then drifted forever despite t' 12" parachute. Arrr!  Cleared t' trees and looked like it was goin' t' threaten t' cars in t' lot across t' street, but plunked down in t' turn lane o' US 27 instead.  Four cars passed it without hittin' it.  Ft. Avast, me proud beauty! Thomas people are nothin' if nay courteous.
