Trying to practice cloverleafs solo in the Tweet. Screwing the pooch on it as I come over the top, have no idea where I am and then looking at the Airspeed indicator and realizing I'm about to pass through max allowable airspeed, 275 knots, I rip the throttles to idle and throw out the speed brake. When I finally get the airplane slowed down, speed brake back in and check the radar altimeter, I realize I'm 3,000 BELOW the bottom of the MOA.
So, with the throttles at idle and no airspeed, I try to clean out my flightsuit. So, I yank on the stick to get some altitude back under me and get back into the MOA. However, I forgot that I had a little bit of rudder in, was really slow and in flight idle. That's the perfect setup for a spin the the old T-37. And it almost happened at 3,500 AGL. Needless to say, the spin prevent measure was tested that day. And I did border patrol for another 20 minutes, then headed home with an extra 300 lbs of gas in the tanks.
Had nightmares about ejecting all night that night.
