If I remember correctly, yes!

You go almost straight up until your engine begins to stall, then you
close throttle and drop on your tail until you've gotten a bit of speed,
turn your nose back down and open full throttle.  It's used to surprise
less capable pilots (or more likely, to do flying circus stunts). :-))
