Angel Airspeed fade during approach

To FA10....you bring up some good issues about distractions during final approach and a gradual and unnoticed loss of airspeed leading to a stall...

One is reminded of the C-5 crash at Dover recently...apparently they ran out of airspeed while distracted by a serious engine thrust issue....Aviate...Communicate...navigate ! (my error: Aviate/Navigate/ communicate !). Thx to Flight Detent for pointing this out.
