Actually, we parked a F-111F on the south side of Carson Sink east of Fallon, NV in 1972. Got her into a spin at 20,000 feet. After holding stick full forward, rudder neutral and roll-augmentation off for 8000 feet, we raised the little handles........everything worked as advertised. Sure is nice to have a readily available back up plan.
