Don't know why, they would have spun test the original!

For sure? Have all commercial airliners been spun tested?


Well, it's not a commercial airliner, but back then they were. I've been in
a DC 3 in a spin. I wasn't flying, just observing but during a training
flight they lost it during a VMC demo and it did almost a turn. Recovery
was pretty much normal.

Yeah, for the record, I know a B-29 wasn't a commercial airliner, but
you saying that they spun them made me wonder if other "large" multi-
engine planes, like airliners are spin tested. I don't know for sure,
but I would assume not.
