Vietnam War jets such as the B-52 Stratofortress could fly into the stratosphere or about 5 miles up, hence it's name.

The F104 Starfighter could fly at about 1,300 mph with a reported ceiling of around 64, 000 feet; the F100 Super Sabre about 800 mph and could only climb to about 51,000 feet.

Most commercial jets such as the B747 or A380 are able to fly about 300MPH against the jet stream, and 500MPH with it, at common altitudes of about 27,000 Feet high.

At their extremes they can fly 400MPH against the jet stream, and 550MPH with it, and fly at or above 30,000 Feet

Do ducks fly in jet stream?

Ducks do not intentionally fly in jet streams, as they follow their natural migration patterns and do not rely on man-made air currents. Jet streams are high-altitude, fast-moving air currents in the atmosphere that can impact the flight paths of aircraft, but ducks do not navigate based on these air currents.
