God....I love my instructor.

slow flight to stall...either incipient or full stall and then into spins (in a rated aircraft) and then...just to make sure I've got it...I have to look away or close my eyes with hands and feet off controls... he puts the airplane where he wants it and says "recover", open my eyes and I could be in any configuration to recover...including inverted - I'm left to work it out and sort it out on my own!!!!

Nothing like a good work out from a "strong" instructor to keep you on your toes - Hopefully I'll still be alive in years to come.

(Have to admit to a bit of masochism - I actually requested the contents of the above session we had in an aeros aircraft!!!!!!

and I think I'm going to be doing the same every 6 months or so - It's good for me!!)
