I had several flights in a USN T-2 Buckeye. A fun trainer, easy to fly, but with an interesting habit of very rapidly swapping ends if it stalled with any yaw asymmetry. Normal upright spins were as to be expected from a training aircraft. However spinning inverted, particularly from a dynamic wind-up were eye popping; vertical climb, high roll rate, a tad of rudder then push !!! Not withstanding the post flight requirement to X-Ray the fin-tailplane attachment.
I suppose the T-2 yaw divergence and tumbling entry was a good introduction to the A-7 ‘loss of control’, it too swapped ends and twisted very rapidly at high alpha. Its recovery was very simple:- pick your nose and wind your watch; 3000 ft later it came out of the tumble. Unfortunately many of those who inadvertently entered ‘a loss of control upset’ did so below 3000ft.
