From Randy DeArman: In 37 years of flying, this was the strangest recovery I ever saw. This one boosted to about 600', deployed the streamer and began to fall back toward the pad. Falling lazily, at about 100' somehow the BT managed to reconnect, with about half the streamer hanging out and then lawn darted. Look closely at the streamer, it's standing straight out from the side, due to the strong breeze. What's the kicker? Even with a 600' flight and 25 mph wind, the pad it flew from is just outside of the frame about 25' away. The rocket was undamaged!
