So, F-16 not at its fullest there. Rate of climb is 30,000ft/min far as i can find.

F-22 raptor? 100,000ft/min.

Sent this video to a buddy of mine and he said that's how he lifts his jet everyday.

Side note - in looking at Google Images for the tomcat cockpit, anyone else notice the levers that Maverick pulls and pushes to take off are no where in any photo?
