Pilots learned to roll it on its back and pull it down that way
Any fighter performs better under positive G's than negative G's. So of course pilots try to pull positive G's when they can. Good tactics at 10,000 feet.
But here's a twist: I have read that aggressive A-10 Warthog pilots will do this a few hundred feet off the ground. I.e. before they crest a ridge they invert, so they can duck back under the ridge line more quickly.
That's what Tom Wolfe would call "the right stuff".
