Here's a pic I snapped off flying over my house at about 500 feet in a classic WW2 bi-plane. We went inverted and everything. Was fun as hell. Canon Rebel STi 10MP, unknown lense
The car on the left is my friends ild '95 Camry, the one on the right is my sisters (now totalled) '95 Corolla. My truck is even father right under the carport (hidden). Our pop-up is in the front yard by the street (trying to sell it). Taken Aug 2007.

The highest I've ever been is 120 feet, when I climbed the antenna in Stuttgart, in what was then West Germany. I was a cable-dog (31L: Wire Systems Installer), and as an additional skill identifier (ASI) F2 (Towers) was a possibility.
I never picked up an ASI, but no one else had the cajones to go up the 120 foot antenna to mount the LOS antenna- so I went up there and did it. Looking down from a 120 foot antenna (the kind you have to climb, no elevator or lift) a HMMWV M998, looks to be the size of a hot wheels version.
