Maybe this is a stupid question, but here goes.... ; - )

Why is it that when fighter pilots roll in on a ground or air
target they always seem to roll into an inverted dive? Is this
just my imagination? What's the benefit of an inverted dive?

Because they get air sick if they push the nose over . There are a
lot of G's at that speed associated with getting the nose down, the
G's feel better pushing you into the seat rather than up out of the
seat.
