I think I've seen screenshots of people going to 90k+  I may be wrong though.  It was in a 163.

I splatted against the ceiling at over mach 1 once. I was in a claw. Unfortunately I don't have film, therefore it never happened. I was so disappointed last Halloween not to try a repeat because of server issues.

As far WW2 birds. I think I've had a 163 around 96k.   But I can't remember for sure

I think the record with props in AH that I've heard is like 47k.  But the 163, if managed properly, wouldn't surprise me to go stratospheric.
