Flying with the airbrake out would mean higher engine RPM, hence faster response from the fan engine. I recall it was a bu99er to handle the throttle when I first tried formating in a Hawk. It's possible that the airbrake turbulence would cause the smoke to 'expand' behind the jet better (for some manoeuvres maybe), but I'm only guessing at that.....
