thanks, man those quicksilvers are fast! Yea, Steve is talking about going up even higher and i plan to mount a camera on the plane

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing. something i can turn on before he takes off and he wouldnt have to mess with it... like the oxygen tanks..

I've been to 20,332 before. My field is at 8k feet though. no oxy just a snowmobile suit. That was my personal record two years ago, still trying to hit 21k.

That was awesome. Congratulations. Next time try a camera mounted on the machine. Something Steve doesn't have to mess with. It would be nice to see a view from that altitude in a PPC. Thanks for the video.
