Don't try that in a high wing-loading swept wing jet mate - it's called departure.
Yes, and in fact the PT-22 has 2 or 3 degrees sweepback, which undoubtedly aggravated this behavior.

One question comes to mind though - 23 July 1983, Air Canada Flight 143 (The Gimli glider) - The captain had glider/sailplane experience, found himself a bit high on approach, and dared to slip that 767 on final.

Was he merely lucky not to depart the regime of positive roll control, or did he have some insight beyond his seat-of-the-pants about how far to push the beast?
