With all due respect.. you really need to go and review the section on
angle of attack and accelerated stalls.. I've been able to intentionally
stall a light (ASEL) aircraft in smooth air at Va.. its called a steep
turn with extra back pressure. It has nothing to do with "tailwind
gusts".. it has EVERYTHING to do with angle of attack.

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