AvCan Expert Jumper Dumper?

This expert stalled, spun and recovered in
a vertical downline.  However, he had never
done that before - that's stupid training, in
stupid little airplanes - so he let the speed
build up past Vne and ripped the stab and
elevator off.

Aircraft handling skills are stupid, according
to AvCan, so why would you bother acquiring
them?

Bigger.  Much bigger.

Yeah, we crap on spam cans but the
abuse they take is incredible.  It's
crazy what an aluminum can will take.

Navaho? I just hope he made a note on the snag sheet.

Bigger.  Twin turbine.  You know, the kind of aircraft
that the strutting AvCan experts fly, after they don't
need to worry about basic aircraft handling skills any
more because they wear white shirts.

I'm assuming this was when the jumpers departed?


How 'snappy' would a turbine twin be just above stall with a bunch of jumpers departing? Or are they pretty docile as long as the power is even?


I suppose if you had a bunch of jumpers clambering around on the wing as they often like to do it could be rather 'interesting.'


I imagine once they do go that polar moment really makes for a sloooooooow recovery but of course its going to go in sloooow too?
