In July an USN P-3 (4 engine turboprop approx 100K lbs) crew was conducting an training mission with the #1 engine shut down. They had vibration on the #2 engine requiring shutdown got slow, entered stall buffet + Vmc Air and entered a spin (reported 5 rotations entered at 6000 feet). The crew pulled a reported 7 gs to recover the aircraft at an altitude of between 200 and 50 feet. The crew was able to land safely.
