First, I can’t believe any pilot thought it would be a good idea to hang five or six guys off the aft side of a King Air…AND throttle back on the port engine to make it easier! Good recovery, but I bet the last guy out wasn’t too happy.
He's got big right wing down ailerons in, leading to the inevitable fall off on the left when it stalls. Very cool video.First, I can’t believe any pilot thought it would be a good idea to hang five or six guys off the aft side of a King Air…AND throttle back on the port engine to make it easier!

If you're absolutely desperate then perhaps. The engines out there on the wings have a barbell effect, that's the main reason spins are a prohibited maneuver in most every twin.In a twin, do you manipulate the throttles to match the rudder inputs to recover from a spin?

Playing with the "wide angle" on my new phone (Pixel 6, awesome btw) - you can see Perry's Monument off the nose. "Don't give up the ship" - funny that the USNA flag / emblem refers to a battle on a lake and not an ocean.Years ago my dad got to fly a Ford Trimotor (I was in the back with my mom) into that airport!

“Don’t Give Up The Ship!” sounds a lot better than “You’ll Have to Wade Ashore if We Don’t Win!”Playing with the "wide angle" on my new phone (Pixel 6, awesome btw) - you can see Perry's Monument off the nose.

I remember a picture just like that from 1976.
