Hmmm...impressive, considering that Ecureuil has ceiling of 4400m.

It is indeed impressive. Note, h owever, that "service ceiling" is
usually defined as the height at which an aircraft can no longer gain
100 feet per minute. The B-36 seems to have exceeded its service
ceilding by 10,000 feet on occasion.

all the best -- Dan Ford
