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."
