Apart from the procedural limitation of 50K MSL for the F-16 does anybody know how high the Viper can fly in a level 1g flight? Any pictures, details and testimonials much appreciated!

There is a EM diagram I can find that provides a clue.
From personal experience, 40 to 50K at .9M or slightly supersonic was no problem. My guess would be about 60K.

According to the SAC (Standard Aircraft Characteristics) manuals over at Alternatewars.com:

Note also how the Block 15 comes in slightly under the Block 1-10s.
