I remember we had an air show at the base ( RAF Bentwaters,
Suffolk, UK) and among the aircraft was a 104 Star Fighter. When he took off he was about 100 feet into his roll out when he engaged the burners and the thing bolted forward and in about another 100 feet he pulled back on the stick, stood the plane on it’s tail and went straight up out of sight.

Made the hair stand up on the back of your neck.

Yes! Truly a rocket with stubby little wings masquerading as an airplane!
