I'll take 'C' Bob Barker.

You wanted to be in the spin because it's a new type of flight characteristic for a fighter. Although inherently dangerous it saves a lot of fuel. The spin allows said aircraft to descend rapidly without gaining any airspeed allowing for low time pilots to get on glide slope. Other more 'experienced' pilots use this spin to get a 360 Situational Awareness of the dogfight among other benefits. I can't disclose my inside source on this top secret matter but this spin if done right will 'rudder kick' incoming bullets with a fury. I probably have said to much.

I'm with all others...need more info.
