I expected some coning, shiver me timbers, stable but headed a little East over t' trees at ejection. Begad! Maybe t' angled nose cone cut effected t' vertical flight.
Ejection was outside t' field and over t' road.
I said out loud: "Stay out o' t' trees, stay out o' t' trees!"
It snagged in t' branches, 40 feet up! Nay recoverable.
