I was a little footsore after the first two deep recoveries in the beans, so I decided to try one that might recover a little closer to home. The Stratocruiser D left the pad straight, then arced back over our heads. Recovery was deep in the beans to the NE, almost exactly where the previous two had recovered. All three flights were within 50' of a plastic shopping bag that had blown into the field.
