First Flight!  Great boost, straight, fast and high, shiver me timbers, arcin' into t' wind at t' top o' t' climb, matey, nose up at ejection.  Saw t' ejection event but lost sight o' it initially. Avast!  Got a point out from t' crowd and eventually and picked it up just before landing. Begad!  Long walk, landed in t' beans. Blimey!  Upper section snapped back into t' lip o' t' body tube and took a huge chunk out o' t' nose cone
