I agree with whoever said that if your head is inside the cockpit looking at gauges while you're doing something tricky, you're already in deep do-do. You just have to have the feel of the aircraft. At altitude, if it snaps, well you'll know where it happened for next time. At low altitude... you'd better know the aircraft well enough that it doesn't happen.
Did you watch that bit in the vid where the fighter guy said his piece? Is he staring at a gauge in combat maneuvering? Should he know his aircraft well enough that it never departs?

The Mil fly AoA. So does the aeroplane. EVERY aeroplane.

Me? I'm with the Mil. And with the aeroplane.
