LOL, that's awesome! Put them in their place, lol. Jim is right, when you are level and try to push out, the tail will just get pushed to the ground more, which probably dosent end well.
I had a similar experience, but it happened when I came out of a blender in an inverted harrier, engine overheated (went lean on a hot day) and the rudder hit, power came back and I was just able to push it over without flopping it on it's back. Scary when it happens isn't it?
Here's a freeze frame from the video.
