Yeah, it was definitely the thought of landing - nose down at terminal velocity - that kept me mentally busy
Agree, spins are normally the hard ones. I was flying a Cessna 172 that has about the most gentle stall you could imagine (someone said it "relaxes" rather than stalls, and that seemed about right) but it was still enough for fear of heights and blind panic to kick in. I wondered if the stall/spin difference was because at least the ground is kinda moving around in a spin while in a stall it's just... there..
