The highest flyer is said to be Rupell's Griffon Vulture at 7 miles high! http://www.birding.com/BirdRecords1.htm

...er, Cetti - I think the question is how high can a FLY fly? Or maybe I'm reading it wrong!

What was edited out of your Q, Jimbooaa?
Maybe Cetti's answer was right when posted.

wildwood - nothing edited out. Cetti just got it wrong

You're absolutely right, I was so sure it said bird!! Still in recovery from the Internet section - 2 brilliant but hard taskmasters over there - that's my excuse anyway ;-)

Tartan - did you mean to type 20,000 feet? 2000 feet is less than half a mile and if that is commercial airline height it's no wonder I hate flying :-)
