“the 767 can actually climb to altitude faster than an F4 phantom, its climb rate is phenomenal.”
(BLANK STARE)........
I assume you just made that up on the fly. You do realize that the F-4 Phantom held the Time-To-Climb record for about a decade...until the F-15 Tomcat beat it.
Dude....get your sh*t together....
no actually is was a pilot who had left the AF and was flying commercial 767s, his comment was not about the “initial climb rate” ( all those AB takeoffs you guys mentioned are impressive, the SR71 moreso ), but actual “time-to-altitude”, say 35,000 ft. The 767 is over-thrusted, since it has to be able to fly on one engine at MTOW, should one fail at take-off. Go back a few years in AV/WK and you will see his comments.
