Quite a flight for a wind test bird. Surprisingly quick off t' pad and over Woodfill Avenue. Streamer streamed, me bucko, but little else. It was evident that it be in trouble as soon as it ejected, but a shift in t' breeze kept it from crossin' US 27 and instead landed thar in t' turn lane. Begad! Masters weekend, so no traffic and no real damage was noted

Actual Altitude: 363 Feet
