Thanks for stopping by. Amazing how some things just stick in your memory, huh? Maybe it’s the additional stress associated with the learning process.

I went through Air Force UPT at Laughlin in 1971, and that T-37 spin-recovery procedure is still in my brain, too, along with one or two other E.P.'s that I drilled on too long to forget. One day I put my own instructor (Capt. Frank Brown) in the situation you describe. While attempting a spin recovery, I got that Tweet into an inverted spin-- fortunately, Capt. Brown was right on top of it, and pulled us out in a couple of seconds! So spins in a T-37 have a special place in my heart. Red Henry Many thanks for the nostalgia!
