Ok.. you win.. because ANY speed can be "dangerously close" to stall
speed depending on your angle of attack.

Of course... stalls in and of themselves are not dangerous.. its the
unrecognized ones in uncoordinated flight close to the ground that seem
to present the most problems..

Agreed. Wings stall at a given AOA, not at a speed.


Which makes the original statement that Va is dangerously close to
stall speed inaccurate.
