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