On a early morning in Vegas I had a normal aspirated 206 up 15,500. That took awhile.

FL250. (Dash trash unite!)
Had a 152 up to 11,500 once. Going on a long cross country with a student. He says: "Well there's a headwind, so we may have to stop for fuel, but there's a tailwind at 12,000, Haha". I told him to run the numbers. It saved us something like 20 minutes and a fuel stop.

A friend of mine in the Finnish Air Force reached FL700 twice and had an engine flameout both times in a Mig 21

I've taken a 172 to 13,500 over the Stanfield VOR in Southern PHX....top of stack was brutal! lol
Also had a 152 at 11,500 in one of the Grand Canyon's VFR corridors...We felt small.

I did a few survey projects in my 150hp 172 where the whole project was above 12k. They can do it. I could reliably count on 13k out of it without the aid of outside lift.

I've had a 172 up to 15k several times. Didn't want to stay there though. I have tons of time in the mountains of Idaho below 50 ft. though in a 182 doing Fish and Game. Low level is way more fun than altitude.

That's just, like, your opinion, man
Europe?
Actually did FL200 in a Turbo Seminole once, on oxygen. That was more annoying than it was worth, but it was my first foray into the flight levels.

I did 13,000 in a Seminole. That was a annoying, but a good learning experience about hypoxia.
