Until the coolant leaked or gear reduction box failed, right?

I thought the 250 limit was because of the lack of O2 masks in the back for the pax?

IIRC the Dash has something like a 7000-8000 ft cabin at 250.

The O2 masks are an option on the Dashes, we had them on the 200. Lynx didn't have them on the 400 but they had this program on their FMS that would color code areas where they could still do an emergency descent in the mountains.

That's awesome! What type of airplane were you flying? Also, is your camera exaggerating the sky color, or is it really that dark? Pretty darn cool nonetheless.

Lear 45. I took it with my iphone. Like someone else has already mentioned, to get to FL510, the stars have to align. You must be empty, almost out of fuel, and by time you make it up there, it's time to come back down.

50,600'

The only reason I want to fly a jet... and something like a lear is because I want to see the earth curve and the sky turn dark/black in mid day.

FL410 in a Phenom 100...but I like being closer to Earth. It's more fun.
