I think Dennis Herret is third from the right, front row.

Dennis did my QHI upgrade from B2 to B1 in 1984 and told me the cautionary tale of how he once, as a B2 himself, during his student’s EOL in a Whirlwind 10 at around 300 feet agl, tried to place his hand on the collective to check where the student had it. He couldn’t find it so looked down and to his horror saw that it was at almost the fully up stop. Too late to recover, they piled in with very little rotor rpm.
