showing a valid (current) military check ride in something like a B-52 or
KC-135, C-17, C141

Depends on the actual airplane weight.

A B737/800 at max gross will perform better then a 135HP Apache on one
because the regs say that it has to meet certian climb gradient
requirments...and fortunatly I have only had the pleasure at Max gross
in a simulator...but having taken my MEL in a 135HP Apache the first
time I tried "the Pig" at max gross...I have flashbacks...

The lowest horsepower Apache made was 150 H.P., but still was
underpowered.
