According to the performance data in the manual it takes 19.9 minutes to get to 70,600 feet.

Refueling time will depend on how much fuel is needed for the mission as well as how long it takes to hook up to the tanker. The manual covers the operations for that but I dont see a flow rate of fuel in there. A lot of that stuff is covered in this podcast.

That's an average ROC of 3,500 fpm. Or to put it another way, the vertical component alone of the climb is 35 knots! That must have been like riding a tiger.

@WayneConrad, you should listed to the linked podcast, most of the backbird pilots note that aside from the high landing/approach speed the plane did not really feel that fast due to the altitude and lack of close references as you climb.I think the exact quote was "you get a greater sensation of speed at 500 ft above ground in a piper cub"
