MIRAGE
Flown at LDRS 22 in Kansas on an AMW K-975. Due to a late ejection (timer based), the chute stripped and the ball fell to earth. It was found 2 weeks later by some of the Kloudbusters. The slightly damaged altimeter was sent to Ozark Aerospace and the data was salvaged indicating a max altitude of 5394'. Good enough for second place if it hadn't shred. Maybe next time.
