Has anyone in this thread ever heard of rudder overbalance? Well... that's why the aircraft departed.
I love how the pilot gets blamed, but even before the AIB occurred, everyone knew the pilot would get blamed. The test team was performing a left hand steady heading sideslip (SHSS) at a high angle of sideslip (AoS). The left wing lost lift, and adlnvlnahiuweaadlancv... madness followed. The test team did everything correctly with what procedures they had for high AoS recovery.
I won't say I'm an expert, but I was on the AC-130J DT team.
