Kurt, I'm having a few minor points I don't understand about your post:
Since the memory items had only two items: pitch 5deg and thrust to CLB (it absolutely did not mention "hold altitude"), and they folowed none of them, what's the memory item you say they were trying to follow?
Do you imply that the AF pilots have the same ability to learn and apply emergency procedures that a comodo dragon?
Do you mean that they were in a zone with a very narrow speed margin and they still managed to pull up 1.4 Gs and climb 3000 ft at vertical speeds exceeding 7000fpm and loose more than 100 kts before stalling? (I actually know the answer to this one: No. The reason why they were at their ceiling was not that they were in the coffin corner because they were not, it's because they were running out of engine, in the sense that max engine power gets lower with altitude)
