Actually, time for an update: this was broken by Steve
Fosett on
august this year and it is now at 50,699 feet.

Not too distract from this thread. Carry on.

Not to pick nits, but that update needs an update...
It actually stands at 50,721.78' (15,460m according
to the FAI, but 50,727' according to Steve) set on
August 29th of LAST year (2006), not this year, but
who's counting. Now carry on.
