He lost control and spun in. He may have let it get too slow
and stalled but you have to be really REALLY numb and out
of touch with the airplane to do that.

I think the consensus is vertigo or VFR into IMC.  I heard that it took him
90 something hours to pass his private's and he only had 150 something at
splashdown.  Kinda goes hand in hand with failing the bar several times.
Being a Kennedy doesn't make you smart.

You know as I recall nobody ever took me out when I was getting my PP
in IMC just to show me what it was like. I think that should be a part
of
the PP curriculum.
