Jets are very unforgiving at low speeds because they depend totally on speed to produce lift..not like a prop that washes air over the wings to supplement lift... I'm betting there will be a review of all low speed manuvers to determine if they are worth the risk. I remember about 20 yrs ago when there were a couple of bad Herc crashes while doing LAPES (Low altitude parachute extractions)...That practice was discontinued.
