It appears that another SGS 2-32 spins in? This Schweizer is pretty unforgiving...


Only if your training was in 2-33s and didn't include spin training. The 2-32 will spin, but it gives you a little warning (not much), and recovers nicely once it departs. Kinda like a T-6, considered one of the best trainers ever built.

Sad that we keep rediscovering our training flaws, assuming this was a spin-in. Which of course, it may not have been.

Sad, regardless.
