No hysteria about the A 300 fin loss, just sensible learning, reinforcing what was already known to most us, from a grossly mishandled jet.
Never spun the 757, a most delightful and benign aeroplane , ( except its “heavy” wing vortices.! )
That is precisely the paragraph I'm quoting. I'm looking at it right now. I believe you are quite "grossly" misunderstanding what he is saying there
I have no quarrel with the rest of what you're saying.
