I believe the normal climb angle is around 10-15 degrees but with the help of the rockets, it is 45 degree climb. The demonstration is quite impressive.
I was very fortunate to witness multiple takeoffs as the plane no longer do JATO takeoffs.
Oh, each rocket provides 1000 lbs thrust and there are eight of them=8,000 lbs of thrust from the solid fuel.
For those who do not know, it is C-130 Hercules cargo plane.
