[edit] Specifications

Initial rate of climb appears wrong, although I do not have a reference. Compare it to its subsonic peers with lower thrust/weight (e.g., F-86 / FJ Fury models). With a thrust to weight of almost .5 to 1, and transsonic capability from MSL to its service ceiling, it should climb in excess of 10,000 fpm. Joe Baugher and Global Security cite the same figure. Anybody have another data source? Or is the climb figure based on max T/O weight instead of the usual air-to-air loadout plus 60% fuel? --RandallC 09:33, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
