Fascinating Condor (I assume) simulations.


It would appear that "Spin Clip 2" is a candidate for what might have
occured at Cle Elum.


"Spin Clip 1" is a cockpit view which is especially chilling.


Condor seems to be a very nice tool to experience what you don't ever
want to experience, just like the ATP's do in the big simulators.


Sailors of the Sky, I think. *There's an article someplace about

Condor, also. *Still, I'd expect Condor will show the same.

Condor does an excellent job of simulating stall/spin sequences.
Scary good. The SSF has several videos on their website produced using
Condor. They do a really nice job, I think, of illustrating a bad day
at the gliderport.
