I can't remember precisely but your 20000 feet figure would be my number too.
I was certainly impressed by the amplitude of negative pitch required to silent the stall warning. Not much blue sky left on the PFD. We, airline pilots, are simply not used to command such attitudes.

No kidding...not much blue left at all. And the AoA crept up - it didn't just change right away. The last bit from around 20deg to 10 seemed to go a bit faster.

Yeah the long response bothers/surprises me, too.
I tried to explain, why that would be the case in my post 386 out of own expierience with stalls in fighter and trainer aircraft.

Thank´s all for the very good discussion points of the last few weeks, very open minded and not much noise.
I stumbled on a video from an F4 in an out of control situation ending in a flat spin, where the aerodynamic forces asociated with high AOA are visualized by contrails (all in the first minutes of the video).
