Kinda hard. It could "shoot itself up", over the service ceiling (without weapons), but since the air is too thin for that aircraft, it would just start to spin, etc. after this "shoot". What would be the point of this? And I am pretty sure it can't shoot itself kilometres worth as it's not some spacerocket and the aircraft would lose it's controllability.
