Unfortunately that is the mid set of many today. I did my first spin on
my first solo and found it of enough interest that I did several before
I came back to do the obligatory takeoff and landings. Of course that
was in the 50's when pilots still did spins without the trepidation so
prevelant today. And, of course the aircraft were different then too.
Since then, I have done spins in quite a large variety of aircraft with
and without students. Yes I still go out to practice them.
