Holy shit.
Looks like he was transitioning to a high alpha, low speed pass and either didn't get it right or the aircraft didn't like something and started compensating. Either way he (rightfully) didn't waste any time getting out of there. Wow.

Almost looks like he lost throttle control in the middle of a high alpha pass. Didn't hear the engines spool at all, and you'd think he'd be bending the throttle before punching out.
Also kind of a weird yaw just before it all went pear shaped. Flight control failure?

More likely one wing stalled before the other.

Yes, though with full burner it won't stall, even in a pitch like that. From what I saw he never went into afterburner, or even full power.
Yeah, almost looks that way, though my thinking was the flight software on those things was designed to specifically prevent that sort of thing. I still find the lack of power application strange.
