Had that been the case then a zoom climb to force landing attempt or at least a higher ejection would probably have ensued.
Really do not understand your comment on "way to low energy to have got airborne". By all appearance it was airborne and in formation when a power loss occurred. As far as zoom climb after takeoff, no aircraft has that potential as your takeoff spped is below glide speed let alone having zoom potential until some seconds after takeoff, unless in afterburner and holding it down whereby you have accelerated very quickly.
