Our training matrix required practice stalls once a year in the A-6 Intruder until one departed into a spin and was lost. Fortunately, the crew ejected safely.

Subject: [LML] Re: stalls The bad part about this "stall" discussion is that most people want to stay away from stalls all together. - - - That's ridiculous ! If you want to call yourself a proficient pilot, you must be able to react to most any circumstance, intended or not. Wolfgang, I flew F-100s, F-105s, and F-4s. I was a very proficient pilot in all three aircraft. We DIN NOT stall them and we had ejections seats and parachutes. Your above statement is, IMO, ridiculous.
