[QUOTE="ajaf1656, post: 16420479, member: 196707"] There's nothing wrong with flying older aircraft. I have the upmost confidence that these birds are maintained well. Obviously the crew identified a loss of power and traded airspeed for altitude initiating a climb. This is the proper course of action. I don't want to speculate on the cause or condition of errors, but it's pretty clear that the aircraft had expended its excess kinetic energy (airspeed) and entered a spin right about the point of maximum potential energy (altitude). A spin is the result of an uncoordinated stall condition where one wing reaches the critical angle of attack before the other wing causing the aircraft to wing over and enter a dive. Dropping from the max altitude in a spin, the crew lost precious altitude and had to wait to punch out. Sad day. [/QUOTE]
