I was in a jet trainer at the Air Force Academy taken up by a pilot straight from Viet Nam...I was in the front cockpit and had only training on ejection procedures, when we took off and cleared tower.
After we leveled out, my pilot asked me if I saw the stick in front of me. I answered to the affirmative. He then stated: 'then grab it and let's start flying.'
After a couple of minutes, my Pilot then stated: 'Alright, I want you to do a 360 degree left roll now.' Never having done that, I popped the stick hard and all the way to the left, and after 8.5 G's somehow leveled the jet again. I guess my sense of balance was good enough to do that successfully. I had great trouble following the terrain with no prior experiences...but we were flying normal again.
