Back in the mid 90's when I did the fixed wing thing, I basically
forced my instructor to teach me spin recovery. I knew it wasn't
required, but at the time, I subscribed to several aviation related
magazines and was amazed at all the spin related incidents I'd read
about in almost every issue. Once I did a few, they were no big deal
to recognize and recover from. To tell the truth, they were pretty
damned fun!

I got taught spins when I was doing my PPL(A) after about five or six hours.
I was then told to stop grinning as I wasn't supposed to be enjoying them so
much!!
