We already knew he's high. The reason I asked is he claims the record. I
want to know who really holds the record.

Highest Flying Propeller-Driven Aircraft
The highest ever altitude reached by a propeller-driven aircraft is
29,413 m (96,500 ft), by the unmanned, solar-powered Helios Prototype
flying wing over the Hawaiian Island of Kauai on August 13, 2001.
Commissioned by NASA and developed by Aerovironment Inc. of Monrovia,
California, USA, Helios is one of a new breed of slow-flying,
high-altitude aircraft that its makers believe will present a viable
alternative to communications satellites in the future.

Highest Sky-Diving Dog
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Try telling that to
Brutus, the world's busiest skydiving dog! The miniature dachshund has
made more than 71 separate skydives, accompanied by owner Ron Sirull.
Brutus follows in the paw-steps of Katie, a British Jack Russell
(pictured above) who made the first ever doggie skydive in 1987 from a
height of 3,658 m 12,000 ft). Brutus has since broken Katie's record
with a jump of 4,572 m (15,000 ft).

Although parachuting dates back to the 1780s, it took another 150 years
for people to throw themselves out of airplanes for fun! The sport of
skydiving became really popular in the 1970s, when divers began to
attempt mid-air acrobatics before landing on a specified target.
Skydivers typically freefall about 762 m (2,500 ft) before opening their
parachute. Today's steerable 'chutes allow the diver a high degree of
control over both their speed and direction.

Airhostess Vesna Vulovic survived a fall of 10,160 m (33,330 ft) without
a parachute when her DC-9 plane blew up over the former Czechoslovakia
on January 26, 1972!
