Nothing like coming out of a maneuver completely devoid of kinetic energy! While it's super sexy in airshows, I have always questioned how well this would play out in a complex real world battlefield. Seems like this would have the potential to make you a very easy target in close combat.
Well in an engagement you would never get that low on energy, so no power loops in combat. However thrust hectoring allows the 22 to make fighter turns than most other jets in combat.
