I flew the A-10 and once was recovering from a low altitude simulated gun pass and misjudged my altitude. . .yikes. . .pulled back hard to the max performance tone (before warbling stall tone) but yet I was still in a sink and was nose high. . .but not stalled.
Pulled out below tree-top level. . .and when I had a climbing vector, I rolled over and looked at the ground, in addition to seeing individual faces of the British Army troops below me. . .I saw dust-devils swirling about in the dirt from my jet-wash and/or wingtip vortices's. Live and learn. . .
