Think the most outrageous was old Tex Johnson rolling a 707 without approval. Pitch angle was impressive (do not know about the camera angle) as seen. I had the pleasure of being on an MD11-F with a relatively lite fuel load. The boys driving threw the gear up, V2+? and rotated to 45-50 deg from what I could see. I was fighting a formidable G-force to both glance at the PFD and look out the L3 window sitting behind the captain. Best acceleration I had experienced was on the side of the pond most of you reside on, PAX MD11. Cambridge to Stanstead, MPA set, they kicked the breaks off and I felt sorry for the gear. Shortest flight I have ever been on at about 9 minutes as we were already on the G/S before my flight crew could clean the aircraft up and finish the checklist.
