Even in your F16 case you enjoy so much mistaking the half looping element for a loop is not really WILDLY wrong!
Wow. You really enjoy digging yourself deeper and deeper, don't you? A loop is performed wings level from beginning to end. There is no roll. In a loop the aircraft goes inverted by rotating ONLY in pitch and not in roll. The energy state of the aircraft is constantly changing throughout the entire maneuver. In a split S the aircraft goes inverted by rotating only in roll and NOT in pitch. It is a
totally different maneuver with
totally different energy states. Arguing they are the same or even similar is to show a GROSS lack of very basic understanding. If you can't "see with your own eyes" the difference between a loop and a split S and do not understand the very significant difference between the two, you are
grossly unqualified to "see with your own eyes" if the Hunter pilot was attempting a 1/4 clover.
And oh yes, your link to the accident report for the Hurricane accident further cements your gross misunderstanding of very basic flight maneuvering. The only thing that Hurricane accident had in common with this Hunter accident was the location.
