Ryan,
I flew almost all of the models while working at the factory and the early 20 series were a real rocket ship. Their problem was the fuel burn was very high and 2.5 hours you were really wanting to be on the ground.
I have flown a 60 model that was able to do 14,000 foot per minute climb rate for the first 10,000 feet. Thats better than the early F-4's and they had AB. so pretty nice climb rate when you think about it. Full FADEC and nice glass up front so not a bad ride and you can stay in the air 5.5 hours.
Oh well, back to girls...
