Upset

The fact you did'nt experience any unrecoverable upset doesn't mean you'll be able to cope with it when it happens. I was a fighter in another life. I thought it would never happen to me until it did. If the surprise effect can be so huge for an experienced fighter, flying half of the time upside down and at high G's, tell me what today's airline pilots (with very limited training in that area) will do...? Besides, you din't read all the words of my post. I wrote:You can't blame the youngsters.
