Good, forgiving acft. Good chance of escape. I used to fly a B model with the MNFC in the ‘80’s. Prayers for the servicemen.
The C models are turboprops. Very dependable.
It's certainly forgiving and it absolutely wants to return to straight and level flight. The only troubling thing is it doesn't have ejection seats. Depending on the attitude of the aircraft, it may be impossible to exit.
I remember right around 99 or 2000, two were killed in the aircraft, a navy flight instructor and a student.
