airfoilmod,
Stall-wise, I agree about the huge differences between different a/c.
Some will rumble, then buffet, then just drop their nose and recover almost by themselves.
At the other extreme of the spectrum, some will give no warning whatsoever, and need the full paraphernalia of stick shaker, stick pusher and what have you, to stop them from getting into that domain in the first place.
I'll have to dig out my F-104 flight manual, but IIRC the F-104 didn't stall properly at all. Beyond a certain alpha it just pitched up to such an extent, that it was nearly unrecoverable, unless it happened high enough.
Same applies to most deltas. When mistreated they don't stall in the conventional sense at all, just end up in a very high pitch-up attitude on the back of the drag curve, which tends to end in a hole in the ground....
