I think you guys really need to train some reading skills. I mentioned this several times now, this "only" applies if you, for whatever reason, already are in a sticky situation. Now you can try to fly all Hartmann style all the time, but I doubt that will work out for a majority of flyers here and neither did it for the pilots back in those days. You better prepare yourself for those moments when the sh*t hits the fan and you have a red on your tail down low without speed.

Besides, there is a lot of good, old fashioned "fun" involved when successfully turning the tables in such a situation.
