  1. Years ago when I was taking flying lessons my instructor was talking me through my first stall recovery. I reduced power and kept applying back pressure on the yoke and the instructor told me to return the yoke to the neutral position when the aircraft stalled.

    When the aircraft stalled instead of neutral I push the yoke almost to the firewall! Of course the Cessna noses over in a hurry and a springtime baseball field (that I can still picture in my mind almost 30 years later) filled the windscreen!

    When we landed the instructor was laughing about my overreaction on the first stall recovery and then told me that when I had done that he looked over at me and saw the “remove before flight” yoke lock that was stowed behind the left seat rise up and hover behind my head!

  2. Ya gotta link this on your sidebar somewhere. I have to watch it every time I come here. 😉
