Pity you were not on the jump seat: ---- -300 with CF6-80C2 at 62,500 rating, about 28 degrees pitch up to hold the acceleration so you didn't exceed flap limit speeds as the flaps retracted, about 33 degrees to hold V2+ 10-25.
The power/weight ratio (even compared to other twins of the era) --- told the story.
