...so I suspect the 60000ft thing is wrong as well.
According to Wikipedia:
[In the United States,] Airspace at any altitude over 60,000' (the ceiling of Class A airspace) is designated Class E airspace.
Class E: Operations may be conducted under IFR, SVFR, or VFR. Aircraft operating under IFR and SVFR are separated from each other, and are subject to ATC clearance. Flights under VFR are not subject to ATC clearance. As far as is practical, traffic information is given to all flights in respect of VFR flights.
Of course, VFR above 60k doesn't really make much sense...
