Years ago I saw a film clip on tv showing an A-4 doing 90 degree snap rolls down the length of the runway at an airshow. The pilot did 2 more rolls than he should have and ended up inverted. The wings wobbled as the pilot evidently got confused and lost his situational awareness. The he apparently pulled back on the stick instinctively to get out of the jam and flew into the ground inverted.

Do you know anything about that?

No, I never saw that one. Saw one where he ejected into the deck but not the one you're talking about, sorry.
