You can definitely tell the design is F-16 derived, not only in looks, but in performance and handling. My only real gripe: could use a more powerful F404 derivative (like the F414 EDE). However for a trainer specific aircraft with secondary combat capabilities, it's pretty well equipped.
T-50 is the only aircraft that performs a truly inverted loop back to the centre stage. See 4:05.
Not an easy one because of the high Gs and High speed experienced by the pilot during the loop. Without precise control of both speed and altitude, the pilot risk a backout during high G, or a hitting of ground if not enough altitude!
