Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: Ian Grooms..." 05-05-04, 08:59z  Have you heard/read any more about this? I saw in Patty's guestbook that someone wrote that Ian was in a flat spin and never recovered. I remember in the movie Top Gun (not that Hollywood is any relation to the real world), the flat spin made it very difficult to eject from the flat spin in the F-14. I don't know what kind of forces would be experienced in real life (if it would prevent you from bailing out). Regardless, our condolences go out to the Grooms family.
