He "immediately initiated a go-around, applied full power, and set the attitude for level
flight.". He stated that "when the airplane entered the wind shear, the airspeed dropped rapidly
and the stall warning horn sounded". He said the airplane lost all lift and "slammed into the
runway".
To those who advocate 1.3 x stall in windy gusty and turbulence this is an extract from this reported accident so beware!
