I've added a few records by Louis Paulhan to the table, but it now occurs to me that this page could be problematic because the FAI no longer keeps a single record for altitude in aeroplanes, but a number of separate records, depending on payload carried - more than 50 separate records in all. Then you need to consider the type and sub-classs of aeroplane - dozens more to multiply the 50+ by. Then powerplant...... Quite honestly, I don't think this page can work as it is without a much tighter defintion, and even then.... Emeraude 18:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
