  2.  @stefankohler3060  Take an F-104 (empty weight 14000lbs, 5746lbs of internal fuel), put 4 drop tanks with an additional total of 4744lbs of fuel and 2500lbs of Mk-82s on it, that's taking off at over 200 canots, pull back the stick a little too much so the stabilizer won't get any airflow anymore because the wings block it due to AoA and this is going to happen. And there were measures to prevent this from happening... "The F-104 series all had a very high wing loading (made even higher when carrying external stores). During the early stall tests, the aircraft demonstrated the tendency to suddenly "pitch up" once it reached an angle of attack of approximately 15 degrees. This "pitch up" would result in a rapid increase in angle of attack to approximately 60 degrees, accompanied by lateral and directional oscillation, and followed by sudden uncontrolled yaw and roll. At this point the aircraft would be essentially tumbling, descending at a rate of 12,000–15,000 feet per minute (3,700–4,600 m/min).[134] To combat this, an automatic pitch control (APC) was added, which initiated corrective action at the proper time to prevent reaching an angle of attack high enough to cause pitch-up under any operating condition. The high angle of attack area of flight was protected by a stick shaker system to warn the pilot of an approaching stall, and if this was ignored, a stick pusher system would pitch the aircraft's nose down to a safer angle of attack; this was often overridden by the pilot despite flight manual warnings against this practice.[135]" ~Wikpedia entry for the F-104 Regarding the FAT AMY "errors", just take some time and read up on all the issues that plagued the early F-16s... 50 years later that thing is one of the peak assets still in service. Even the P-38 had some notable issues, but most were fixed and it became one of the most successful planes during the war.
