Question for E190 crews

To this day, I have never seen climb attitude and power like a 757. I was blown away at the power that beast has. What also was quite interesting was the climp performance on the A320(Thank you JB guys/gals for the rides, see you in November again). Doesn't climb as well as I thought.

you need to catch a ride in a lear24, it wil easily do 10k a min up to the high teens
 
FedEx MD11s usually have an insane deck angle, at least in ANC. Usually much more so than UPS or any of the other operators around here.

Craziest take-off I've seen is a FX MD11 that took off on 32 at ANC and was off the deck by the fire station. Amazing.....
 
It was always hilarious to watch Airnet Lears depart out of Burbank. That thing could climb like somethin' bigger was chasing it!

yeah, especially the cargo birds, no seats or anything in the back. funniest thing i ever had was hearing a canadian controller turn a 737 out of my way because "he is climbing more then 5 times as fast as you". also had a controler thing his equipment was broken, kept asking me "are you sure youre climbing that fast." Lear24 damn thats a fun airplane, best way to turn jet-A into noise. loudest thing i ever heard to boot!
 
Back in January of this year we were heading out of BNA on our way BOS. Now in the winter time the CRJ has much better performance. Nothing to brag about, but on the way up to 10K it will easily do 3K/min. ATC told us to look out for a G-IV climbing above us at 6K climbing to 12K. We were at 6K. ATC asked the Gulfstream what his climb rate was. "We're doing 6.5K/min." Both me and the Cappy looked at each other like "what the frick!!"
