Tell me, how many hours do you have? Type of aircraft? Ratings?
Thanks.

OK, you got me. I’m not a pilot. 3,000+ hours. B-47. Master Navigator. 15 years in R&D. My use of the term “high speed stall” was from conversations with flight test pilots. As they described it, it wasn’t a complete stall, but a loss of lift due to high angle of attack and induced drag. They also used the term “mushing” for nose-up loss of altitude during pull-out from a dive. I remember it was a problem in the F-105.
