Folks,
Long time since I have done it, but a light B767-300 (two crew, 15,000 kg fuel) with CF6-80C2 rated at 61,500, using rated thrust followed by full climb thrust needs about 28 degrees pitch up to hold the speed down for the slow flap retraction, and wasn't it good fun.
If you ask most people on the ground, they will tell you 60 degrees of bank is "vertical".
At an airshow, all this it looks a lot more spectacular from the ground than it really is from the picture windows at seats L1 or R1.
Tootle pip!!
