AOA - something to think about

Split from the other thread about retractable a/c ---cleaning up
To expand on Chucks point about minimum safe speed don't think of that number as a hard XX Knots or whatever your POH says. At Flight Safety my last time down we got chatting about AOA and using it properly, this is one thing many pilots misunderstand. One comment that really struck me was that in the miltary all they do is fly AOA.
