Why can't a B-1 go straight up (for however short a time)?...if
it can do a 60 deg attitude then are you telling us that it
cannot go another 30 deg?....why not?...

I'm sure it could, but how long they could do it, I don't know. Personally I
think a 60-degree climb to "out-of-sight" flight level is more impressive than
a 90-degree climb to a few thousand feet above where you started the climb.
