Many years ago 'Australian Aviation' published a transcript of an SR-71 pilot talking to air traffic control.
The pilot had asked permission to fly at level 1100 (110,000 ft), whereupon the ATC officer, not realising the ability of the aircraft she was talking to, had retorted "Sure, go ahead if you think you can do it".
The SR-71 pilot then replied "(SR-71 name) descending to flight level 1100"
Silence from ATC.
Cheers,
Jason.
