When you take your written test, one of the questions the FAA seems to always
ask is under what conditions an airplane can stall.  The correct answer is at 
any attitude and any airspeed, and they mean it.  I have accidentally stalled
an airplane twice, both times on the same flight in a Cessna 150, and in both 
cases the nose was pointing straight towards the ground and the plane was 
flying at over 100 mph.  The plane was an aerobat and was close to gross for 
aerobatics, I was used to flying acro in Citabrias, with much lighter wing 
loading, and I tried to pull up out of a loop too hard.  It really does happen.
