Nice to see the scramble time for the Meteor, and I am surprised it was that short.
If I recall the report corectly, the F-20 Tigershark could be 10,000 feet in the air passing through Mach 1 exactly 1 minute after scramble, assuming the pilot was in the cockpit sitting alert. The competing F-16 that won the fight was still aligning the nav system on the ground at that point.
