yes AF447 was on my mind when i asked the question, that was a deep stall and I believe a "stuka" dive was the only option that could have saved them from that situation, as to how it would feel? well on a black night and considering falling like a stone and no ASI .... how would it feel? probably like standing still. hence my question how would you know when to pull up, perhaps "count to thirty" is the right answer after all
