Yesterday we made our Falcon 2000EX EASy climb from almost sea level to FL430 in about 16 minutes with a few passengers on board...it is just normal.

Not in production, but I don’t think Neil Armstrong’s record of 12 minutes 27 seconds to FL 490 in a Lear 28 will ever be broken.

If I remember correctly a specially prepared F15 went from brake release to 100,000 feet + in just over 3 minutes

Hard to beat !

Considering a light F15 will accelerate on a vertical upline I don't think it is fair to compare it to any civil executive jet.

I remember one cold night I was number 2 to a Lear 25 at CYVR. He was asked what altitude he wanted to cross the YVR VOR at. (The YVR VOR is 7 nm from the airport). His response was "Flight Level two Four Oh". There was a long pause and then tower said "lets make that 7000".

Concorde departing Manchester 24. Light to LHR. Inbound on 06. ATC: Speedbird , can you give a good rate of climb after TO for inbound seperation.
SST: We will be doing 10,000 fpm, more if you want it !

I gave up on reaching cruise level around FL290 after more than half an hour..MD80 out of west Africa..night time. Someone has to earn money.

My wealthy Texas cousin owned and piloted two Lear 25B's. When I visited him at his 30,000-acre ranch in Thurber, Texas, he invited me for a quick "look-see" around his property. From 40,000 feet. He and I boarded one of his jets and we took off with a light fuel load. I was right seat and noted a climb rate of 6,000 f.p.m. on the VSI. The deck angle was more than 45 degrees, but it felt as if we were ascending straight up. Carroll looked over at me from his left-seat perch; he winked: "Goes like a scalded dog, don't she?", he laughed as we leveled off at 40,000 feet.

Now my cousin is long gone. So is the ranch and the 10,000 llamas and 5,000 head of cattle and the oil. The memory of that day remains unsullied however. I think I know what John Gillespie Magee, Jr. was talking about when he spoke of "put out my hand - and touched the face of God."

It gets my heart pumping just to remember that day and that beloved man who drove a 1956 Thunderbird, the hood ornament of which was a set of longhorn steer horns as wide as the car. The horn played the first two measures of "The Yellow Rose of Texas", and his Learjets made eight miles high in under seven minutes.

I know it dosn't answer your question, but a lightly loaded Dash 7: 2hrs to FL230. On a cold day...
