skymstr02 is an unknown quantity at this point
The USAF -1 TO (Flight Manual) has the flight data in the performance charts that show the rate of climb on the rear engine with the gear in transit (doors open) at -240fpm. Notice the minus sign in front of the number.
That means that a trained test pilot could not maintain a positive rate of climb on one engine with the landing gear in transit.
