Back in the early 80's when I was still doing contests, I went to one held at the Johnson Space Center. One of the events was E eggloft altitude and almost all of us were using E60's. I don't remember any CATOS that day, but I did lose mine to a high level wind that carried it off to the east. The wife and I got into the car and she drove while I hung out the window trying to keep it in sight. We drove for 3-4 miles and came to dead end street where I lost sight of it while it was still fairly high, probably 400-500 ft. **** thing probably ended up in someone's backyard pool in Clearwater....
