The F101 also had this unlovable feature. It was called pitch-up. A stick shaker delivered the first warning of onset followed by a 40 lbf pusher. These could be disabled by a switch on the control column. The pitch up was divided into 3 stages. At stage 1 moving the control column forward got you out. Stage 2 required the deployement of the landing drag 'chute. Stage 3 required the use of the ejection system. In stage 3 the engines probably didn't work any more OAO compressor stall so there really wasn't much point in keeping the aircraft anyway as it wouldn't glide.
