Tomcat spin recovery boldface (can't believe I still remember this):

"Stick - Forward, neutral lateral, lock harness.
Both Throttles - Idle
Rudder- Opposite turn needle/yaw.

If no recovery:

Stick - into Turn Needle.

If still no recovery:

Check Roll SAS - ON
Stick - Into and Aft turn needle

If recovery indicated:

Controls - neutralize
Recover at 17 units AOA
Thrust as required.

If flat spin verified by flat attitude, increasing yaw rate, increasing eyeball out G, lack of pitch and rolls rates:

Canopy - Jettison
RIO - Command Eject."

Try spitting that one out at the 5am mass brief.

(disclaimer-- It's been a while, I probably forgot a step. Sorry, SDO duty for me).

Cheers,
