admin- Power to weight.
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 477,000 pounds (216,634 kilograms) Weight: Empty, approximately 190,000 pounds (86,183 kilograms) Thrust: 30,000-plus pounds with afterburner, BRBR Empty weight still exceeds the engine thrust BRBR Just go faster before you pull up. With your numbers, no A/C could do a loop, and of course many do. In the F-4, about 36,000 pounds of thrust in A/B, in an A/C that weighed about 34,000 pounds empty but did loops and straight ups and downs all the time, weighing 50,000 pounds or so.
