Now I don't want to rain on your parade - but if you go back around 30+ years - the English Electric Lightning used to demonstrate a vertical climb direct from the rotate. Wheels up at 20 feet, full burner, stick hard back and watch her go.......Not sure if there is anything on YouTube ?

Love anything plane related, used to fly...served in the Navy. That is an interesting attitude, but our retired F-14's could do that and they were tanks! :) :)

The Lightning could supercruise also. Faster than Mach 1 w/o afterburner.
I think the F-22 is our first supercruiser.

It's nice to see the EE Lightning still has some friends, I served with these at RAF Binbrook, (many years ago!). No 5 and No.11 Sqns and LTF.

I just went to youtube.com and typed in English Electric Lightning in the search field and a bunch of videos popped up. Not that difficult. But here are a couple you can check out:
This first one is only 21 seconds but gives you an idea of what the plane can do.
