but was it as fast on the climb out as an English Electric Lightning P1B?
I'm fairly sure the Eurofighter is just as fast if not faster on the climbout, read somewhere about it having an initial rate of climb in the region of 67000ft /min. I have seen it get to FL80 in about 10 seconds from wheels up, at least that was the first sweep that showed on Radar, it was up at FL190 very shortly after, before eventually going up to FL450 when back in the UK FIR.
