That's common, takeoff with an unrestricted climb. The g's aren't much to speak of though. Here's a video of me in the backseat going brake release to 15'k in about a minute in an F-15E.
You need to re-edit that video. When the song first says "SAIL!", you need to time that to when the pilot points the nose at space.

Probably River Rattlers F-18s. They would request unrestricted climbs all the time where I worked. Best one I seen was after an Air Show a static display was leaving and was trying to show up the F-16 Viper Demo team that finished the Air Show he was doing carrier breaks and we coordinated with the approach control and center to get him unrestricted climb. It was probably the most impressive one I have seen. Most of the Air Force fighters we would get did standard takeoffs. The second best I seen was a female NASA pilot in a T-38. She talked to a bunch of students and before she left she requested closed traffic and she did an unrestricted climb off a low approach and she kicked it straight up in the middle of the runway. It is always fun to work fighters and fast movers.

That was kind of disorienting how its hard to immediately tell which direction you're pointed. I can't even imagine being responsible for flying that maneuver.

There were fighter jets doing touch and goes in lafayette today which is somewhat unusual. Maybe it was them

Unless you are taking off from a airfield were the perimeter security is unknown, you want altitude separation away from possible rockets or small arms fire as fast as possible so you practice that.

Yeah. Burning jet fuel. It is a high performance take off, serves no purpose other than its fun to do.

If I recall, there’s a couple random scrambles a day. Some are for security protocol, some are scheduled, and would imagine they have a couple hundred mile district.

They went STRAIGHT UP from the jump. And not just for a little ways. They pretty much disappeared from view. I waited a while and they never came back around.
Yeah, jet pilots do that sometimes. It doesn't mean anything.

You a Wizzo slacker? Or just hitched a ride?

My high school friend is a pilot and has been for 30 years. He claims he got scrambled from belle chase on night...some big threat in New York...
Apparently they get special orders for serious stuff where the limits of speed are taken off. He said he got there in like 22 minutes

Nah that was a T-38 coming out of the west. It was either River Rattler Hornets or Bayou Milita F-15’s.
