I would be surprised if it was much more than 45 degrees and possibly even less but that's just a rough guess. They reduced angle pretty quick so they might have zoomed it up fairly steep for a few seconds. The airshows have restrictions on the maneuvers that can be performed at the show but I don't know what they are for a takeoff.
