The U-2 certainly does fly at that altitude, up to 70k feet I believe, so does the SR-71... I'm sure NASA has a few 
high altitude aircraft as well...

I'll bet that, if we get any further details, the problem will be a bounds error in a 
sanity checking module, since absolutely no aircraft could ever be flying at 60,000 
feet ...
