Goodmorning,
I don't know how high Concorde exactly flew at Mach 2 but this should have been the highest altitude for me.

60,000 Feet. Gosh how high is heaven!
I request ILS25L to share his experiences inflight in Concorde. Especially since the CONCORDE is now not in service, we can atleast be nostalgic and reminiscate.
Aum Sweet Aum.

About 90 degrees from the horizontal whilst performing a loop in a K-13 glider would be the highest attitude - as to aLtitude the 390 in a CO 747 down the eastern seaboard en-route LGW-MIA

You lucky guy
(sorry couldn't resist it)
we where flying at more than 1000KM/H around 1050KM/H.
The fastest cruising speed I can remember was when coming back to BRU from CVG on the B747 of SN. We flew at around 1050km/h as well.

Hello,
I guess 39000 Ft but I don't know exactly which flight it was...
Maybe one of my flights to the USA.

Don't forget that when you mention the highest speed you have ever flown with, you read it on the screens in the airplane, which give you groundspeed and not airspeed !!
So thank the wind in your back for it
As for the aTTitude : 47° in the ZeroG A300 and for the ALTitude, well I suppose around 40000 feet on transatlantic.
Ciao,
