Sigh, yes, for the third time, I understand just fine what constitutes an aerodynamic stall. Yes, it is indeed theoretically possible to stall an airplane at high airspeeds. My comment was very clearly in response to another poster, who had speculated that the accident at hand may have been resulted from letting the airspeed decay and entering a stall, because of unreliable airspeed indications. My response was that given the GPS reported groundspeed of 300 knots, it was unlikely that this accident was a result of the pilots allowing the airspeed to get too low, with a resulting stall. Now, I am unsure why you chose to ignore the fairly obvious context of my remark and pretend that I meant something else, but it seems to be so that you can gratify your own ego by "instructing" me on basic private pilot information.
