But seriously, that sounds like the only way to travel

Hey Jeff, well lets answer in order
1) I hoped a ride with one of the Astronuts in a F-15
2) Total flight time door to door of about 58 minutes
3) roughly 950mph give or take a few mph
4) FL46 or 46,000 ft.

nice place....
I don't fly anymore.
I stopped once Philly expanded the TCA and the FBO that I flew out of fell under their expanded area. You had to squawk just to take-off. Flying ceased to be fun at that point and became too much like work.
Give me a lrage area of uncontrolled air space and I'd get interested again, but with all the restrictions and increased security around here (lots of military installations) you can't bust altitude or make any mistakes. That's no fun.
I used to fly down over the Northern end of the Chesapake Bay at night and it was great, but not fun any more.
I like to boat more....
you know.... you can't pull over to the curb or shut the engines off and drift in a plane....
