However the high speed protection supposed to have recovered the aircraft from the dive. I wonder where was the other pilot and why couldn't the pilot use the same button to reverse the seat.

Vilas,

Interesting further reading if you click the "investigation" link.

Apparently, this happened in 2014, and the investigation is now complete.

The photography website just got hold of this info recently, and I was in a hurry to post it, so I didn't mention any details. The other pilot wasn't in the cockpit at the time!

What are the criteria for plunging?

Assuming you're not avoiding a school or hospital, what are the essential elements to become a master plunger?
Can one plunge 10 feet for example. Can a cat plunge, or an apple like Newton had?

Appreciated, but it might now be worth taking a pause and have a look at aerolearners post specifically the link it contains before this thread (possibly) gets deleted by the mods for duplication - the Voyager incident and resultant official reports have already been discussed at length (24 pages worth) over in the military section of this forum.
