We report on measurement results in highly turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection. Convection takes place in a 0.7 m high, 3.5 m long and 0.35 m wide rectangular box. The working fluid is pressurized sulfur-hexafluoride (SF6) at pressures of up to 18bar. In this setup, we reach Rayleigh numbers in the range 10^10 < Ra < 10^13 and Prandtl numbers of 0.7
