Watching that and seeing a ceiling of 70k ft. made me think of some old fighter plane specs. So I did some research and yeah, fighter jets can hit up to and over 100k ft, but only temporarily (zoom climb, designed to either distance/outrun a jet from a chasing one, or to get above a U2/similar spy plane to shoot the shit out if it). So now I want to see a zoom climb vid breaking 70kft. Damn youtube doesn't have it. 
edit: ok, so no zoom climb but cruising at 84kft at 2200mph sorta makes up for it.

That wasn't a major, it was Kim Jong Il incognito. He made a pran to infertrate our government and rearn all our secrets.
