...has flown again, this time to about 60km altitude. From the Scaled Composites website:
The third powered flight of SpaceShipOne. 55 seconds motor burn time.

Motor light off occurred 10 seconds after release and the vehicle boosted smoothly to 150,000 feet [~46km] and Mach 2.5. Subsequent coast to apogee of 211,400 feet [~64km]
