We tried to do lomcevaks several times, (unsuccessful.) . We finally broke a rudder peddle, so The Air Force made us stop.
The fatalities at the academy were simply pilot error. Yes there was a spin syllabus, and it was word for word from the POH (dash 1). We had to log our spins. Over 700 hrs in the t-3, and 500 logged spins, never a problem. Mcpeak had it right when he stated " inexperienced C- 141 drivers". FOs for that matter. Not a good match for a light aircraft. They all basically spun in. Sad but true.
I almost want to say something corny like long live the t-3, but I won't.
