Have you ever seen one in person? Talk with someone who has then ask them what it looks like.
They get off the runway and start a climb, get the gear in the wells and then point the nose right up.
A civilian jet I used to fly could do 14,000 feet per minute through 10,000 feet, and it has no where near the wings that the U-2 does. Look up the performance on a Lear 60.
