Sure, although inferior mirages are somewhat different from looming in that they create an additional image that looks like it reflects from the ground. Which is different from the light supposedly bending around the earths curvature.
I have been looking through all of the references on Wiki about looming, and in many cases they are just small articles from very old newspapers and journals and don’t contain even images. Newer photos are always shown without any other measurements like temperature, pressure and humidity. So all of this is purely theoretical.
