A friend of mine was Air Force, and deployed in 2003 or 2004 (if memory serves). He said at night you'd hear and feel the rumble. He said "B1-B is in town." On take off, they'd point the nose straight up and immediately gain altitude.
A freaking bomber! USA! USA! USA!
Right next to the buttons for Paint It, Black, The Ride of the Valkyries, and Suicide Solution.

No..
The B1 cannot go vertical and gain altitude. Their thrust to weight ratio is about the same as a B52, around 1-4. You need to be at 1-1 or less to be able to go vertical and gain speed.
I've sat at EOR with the F-4 and F-111. If you want to feel what real raw power is like, that's the place to be. I've only been able to sit on the taxi way when a B1 took off about 100 yards away. That was very impressive.
I’m thinking it wasn’t literal “vertical”
Was reading about f-22 and just how powerful /thrust
It has more thrust at combat power than a f-15C at max/afternurner
Also had more thrust at full burn (although different parameters and design) than a SR-71
Apparently it’s been clocked while super cruise at 1.6-7 Mach
Really cool article. I think Jane’s defense or one of those
That's not typical. That's an upgrade on I-55.
What angle could it climb?
Genuine question. I would like to know. It's an impressive aircraft at any rate.
Ole and Sven are drunk and killed in a car accident near Moose Lake Minnesota.
They get rejected at the Pearly Gates and get sent straight to hell for their lives of drunken debauchery.
Satan meets them and assigns them a spot near a pond of boiling sulfur and asks what they think of the spot where they will spend eternity.
Ole and Sven both say it's much better than living in Moose Lake, nice and warm with no mosquitos.
A few years later a huge comet crashes into Hell turning it into a frozen waste land. Everyone is miserable, the cold is just as bad if not worse than the burning heat.
Satan hears loud cheering and commotion and goes to investigate.
He finds Ole and Sven running around a campfire, with no shirts on, drinking beer, cooking hotdogs and screaming, "The Vikings won the Super Bowl. The Vikings won the Super Bowl."
Here's your vertical climb. An English Electric Lightning from the 1950's and 60's. Two jet engines and that sumbitch could climb vertically all day.

Even though we want the electric "e" in the word Lightning, it's not.
I think there are some ignorant and tarded fucks living out some fantasy that Brandon is the Lincoln of modern times.
How many kids do I need to sell to get one of these?
Funny story time: The first real job I got after tech school was a large dealership and one of the makes in our shop was Lexus. We had an ES300 towed in that all of the brakes had been fried on. Pads, rotors, calipers at all 4 wheels needed to be replaced. The story from the customer was that all of a sudden the engine went to redline and they had to push the brake pedal as hard as possible with both feet to get it stopped. When the Lexus guys started looking at it they found a tiny Maglight wedged in the throttle body linkage. The customer said it had just had some work done at another shop so they called and asked “Hey, are you guys missing a tiny Maglight?” At first they were excited to get the light back. Then the situation was explained further. Then they weren’t so excited to replace all of the fried brake parts for free…

I've been at EOR when F-15's and F-22's were taking off to do mock combat against each other. Very big difference in noise. In other news, the pilots were telling me that the F-15's needed 5-1 ratio and visual to take out F-22.
I bet she was born in the DDR (most of you have no idea WTF I’m talking about)
My brother was tasked to by one of the aggressors for the AF F-15 Fighter Weapons School graduation exercise. They were flying T-38s; no radar, just GCI calls. They killed all the F-15s because of the tactics they were using.
If you know what an aircraft is capable of and how it’s employed you can generate a senario that you opponents will fall into.
