I'm not exactly experienced with airports as much as airstrips/fields, so i wasn't sure when i heard about the vertical aeropace boundaries at airports. THis gave me an idea. Find the highest one and try to fly over it . I heard that the highest one is at 80,000 feet. If this is true, could i try doing it

You could try that if you really wanted. But why bother doing it on VATSIM as you would miss all the controllers online??!!

What goes up must come down. True, ATC stops at FL600 but you have to eventually come through ATC's zone to get to the ground. And it's not that bad to be under ATC's watchful eye. Besides, if you really don't want to bother with ATC, just fly low altitude VFR into and out of non-towered small airports and you'll never have to hear a peep from anyone.
