Somewhere on Youtube there is a video of new F-16 flt. control software being evaluated. The bird was loaded with asymmetric stores (as in halfway through an air-air encounter) and a high-G stall induced. The bird tumbled (as expected) but was recovered within the desired time/altitude parameters.

A good example of "what if" testing, not terribly different from my PT-22 "test" - although I'm sure the F-16 guy got knocked around quite a bit.
