Finally got t' nerve t' put a "J" in t' Sonic Shark.  Great boost, straight and fast off t' rail.  Arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb, heard t' apogee charge but didn't see t' event.  Several folks had deadlights on it and eventually I was able t' spot it as well.  Good main deployment at 500 feet.  Landed next t' t' away cell, t' booster section clipped t' irrigation rig on t' way down with no damage sustained.
