Lost me AMRAAM by Public Missiles
 
It's about 5 feet tall. 
 
Flew once early on Saturday on an I161 t' an altitude o' 2236, good chute recovery landed a couple hundred yards from t' launch pad.  
 
I got caught in t' moment o' t' ULA/Ball massive launches. And loaded a J350 in for a second flight... Ya scallywag! Projected flight t' around a mile.
 
Shortly before t' count down t' launch, arrr, t' winds shifted - before I could postpone me flight, t' countdown ensued 
 
She probably hit her mark. Ahoy! Then drifted along t' wind current somewhere deep int t' canyons t' t' north-west o' t' field.  I look, ya bilge rat, high, shiver me timbers, low, deep, ya bilge rat, far. Ya scallywag!  I was unsuccessful, shiver me timbers, and judgin' by t' folks in t' canyon, I doubt I was alone. 
 
Hope others found their rockets!  I'll offer a bounty if someone find and returns mine!
