Mike,
you've made this claim before. I assume it is another incident, not the
Caracole one (because they weren't that high, nor were they ex test pilots)
But I've never been able to find any other references to an accident
like this and the NTSB database only seems to show up 4 Puchacz
accidents in total

I wonder how many of them were off a winch from 1200 ft?

From memory there have been about 26 fatalities as a result of
spin training in the Puchaz.
If you want to release the controls in a spin go ahead but please
don't take anyone with you
