At the end of the video linked below, the fellow speaking says that, from a standing start, his T-28 Trojan will beat a 'Phantom' to 10,000 feet.
At first I thought he meant an F-4 Phantom, but maybe he means the earlier FH Phantom? Either way it's an interesting claim from this layperson's point of view. Maybe it depends on how you define a standing start -- perhaps he means from the commencement of pre-flight checks? I imagine it would take longer to start up an F-4 (one that's not sitting ready to scramble) than a T-28?
Thoughts?
