12,500 doing aerial survey in NW Arkansas.

FL210 in a Caravan; I mentioned it earlier but since you resurrected this with a single engine discussion....

[10k in a OH58, 13k+ in a UH60]
 
11,500ft, C172, KSEE to KPRC. Thanks to nice tailwinds I got up to 175 mph, my record. Hence why I went up to 11.5 to catch it.
 
Took a Diamond Twin Star on a cross country at 12,000'. I also took a Cessna 172R to 10,500'. Anything more than shallow turns it would start descending even with full power. I flew with someone in a Cessna CJ1 at FL410. That's the highest I've ever been.
 
Update to my highest. Added another 2k feet to my best. FL470 in falcon 2000. If I ever get into a 3 holer maybe I'll beat my personal record again.
 
Been slumming around at 43 and 45 for the past three years. 47 sounds nice, as long as the suitcase doesn't get too much bigger =)
 
FL390 in the A340 but it doesn't like it too much. It's happy between FL340 and FL360 really....

Watching the -300s scream to get off the ground is always a real treat. Like a 3rd grader struggling to complete a math problem...

"Almost....done...just gotta...pull up...aaaaaand WOW I DID IT!! ... AWESOME! So when can I land?!"
