the Viking departure

So going back to the SR-71 climbing straight up into the sky, that's what the maneuver is actually called?

Never heard that one before.

Don't know if it were called that back then but that's what it is for the F-15s in their unrestricted climb. That is a thing of beauty to see. I was near the far end of the runway and as soon as their wheels were off the ground they raised them and proceeded to haul arse down the runway and at the end pulled straight up. The power of that plane is insane.
