If we launched a probe "up" out of the Milky Way at top speed, how long would it take to clear gatactic plane?

That is, viewing the galaxy as a disc, if we launched a probe up out of the "width" of that disc so that it could be above the plane of the galaxy, how long would it take our fastest probe (at present) to clear the disc?
