So it would be kind if you could proof it with numbers for the AF 447, otherwise its just an oppinion of yourself.

Although in an F-4 with its tiny VS and the Anhedral/Dihedral I would assume the main danger was not so much the stall itself but the spin.

With the CG and aerodynamic Design of it I would expect rather swift Nose Drop at the Stall. The thrill being not to spin it (unrecoverable?) and therefore not to drop a wing.
Am I right ?
