This is almost certainly not the case , but if we ' re going to be conspiracy theory crazy I might as well . Maybe uspez was aware of these shadow edits , but didn ' t have any good way of telling people it was happening without implicating the company or the other admins participating in it . So he goes and edits some thedonald posts himself and comes out about it . Like I said this is almost certainly not what happened . I mean , I would want to be the knight in shining armor who outed whoever was doing this , but who knows . <| sep |> Hehe , he ' s told me the story . His flight was a verified flight for the record at time that we were in competition with the Russians . He flew much higher . Also not too sure but I think there are other aircraft that have been much much higher just not sustained ? . Either way he still holds the official records .
