I don’t know what it is lately – “it’s the dystopian pandemic, stupid” -- but I’ve been re-living a flight I had in an old Luscombe that almost came to an unhappy end, which is almost always the case when a spinning plane impacts the hard ground nose first, depending on the altitude from which the spin began. Long sentence. Sorry.
Long sentence. Sorry.
If, for example, you stalled the plane at 3,000 feet and entered a spin by accident, simple physics says that the chances of living through it aren’t good. Stall it from 300 feet, however, spin it from there,
