I am looking for other people's technique for stall recovery. Before I flew
F-4s, I dropped the nose to gain airspeed well above stall speed and then
recovered well away from stall angle of attack. After F-4 training, I would
lower the nose to get just below the stall and recover with the airplane of
the verge of a stall. This is done by the feel of the airplane buffet and
handling characteristics and not by looking at airspeed. While training for
air to air combat, I flew the F-4 by feel to be close to stall. This is
done to turn rate in combat.

The key to the later stall recovery technique is to be very good at flying
the airplane very close to the stall by using aircraft feel, i.e. practice
slow flight a lot. The advantage is very little altitude lost in the
recovery.
