Highest Flight Level?

Well, considering the type of aircraft I fly, perhaps we should talk about how low I've been. :)

And considering all of my time is in normally aspirated recips, 15,000 is the highest I've been. Weaksauce. :(
 
I am ashamed to say 13000.

(Could be higher if it were not for that awesome 1500 ATP Rule)
 
FL450 in an empty 747-400 to clear some weather momentarily over Indonesia :). Got 601 knots on Saturday northeastbound over Boston at FL330 which may have been my personal groundspeed record but I haven't really been keeping track. That was Mach .83 with a 120 knot tailwind IIRC, so still a low cost index cruise.
 
FL502???

Ok seriously, somewhere in the 40's, though I've probably been higher while passed out with booze in hand on a transcontinental airline flight.
 
I've been at FL450 in the Gulfstream II with work once. I would be interested to hear everybody's highest they have gotten in a 172. Mine is 10,500.
