Nice! This was way above the airplanes :-). It was tracked up to nearly 100k. The balloon was supposed to burst into tiny fragments, but most of it stayed attached and wrapped itself around the parachute. Last received descent rate was 52mph! Fortunately a tree and then a bush broke its fall, nevertheless the video stopped on impact and the flight computer rebooted. We found it in someone's back yard!
