To: F15Eagle
She had a high, fast, overshooting, wrapped up start. The worst kind of start in carrier aviation. Her correction was to rapidly retard the throttles, which combined with the yaw induced the stall. The TF-30 was prone to stalls, but those conditions wouldn't always produce a stall. She got an unlucky break.

The F-14 community had a habit of flying garbage and writing off stalls as always being pilot induced, when some of those engines needed to be pulled. Don't know the history on her engine. I've seen worse starts and never seen a stall like that.
