which is equal to 5000 meters. IL 76 can cruise at much higher altitude. If I am not wrong ( although its long time)- I travelled by IL 76 to Antarctica and that was at more than 10,000 meters . I will have to check my old photos I had taken photo I flight information ..but photo is in India ....
bro service ceiling is not an issue here, what matters is whether an aircraft can take off or land on such altitude because of low air pressure. What C-130J did today is a world record that an medium transport aircraft landed on such an altitude.
