Smile Oxygen is nice but....

Oxygen is nice but, don't forget the dehydration part of flying high also... the FAA has a great little presentation on it for first time flyer who are just beginging to go way up their... also if you can find a military base that will let you go into one of their trainging programs... which NASA does allow... they will take you through the trainging on high altitude flying... the same as their pilots... and put you in the chamber to find out exactly how your reacting to lack of oxygen and pressure... you do need a doctors slip to go though... as you have to be in good physical condition... it usually cost about 25 bucks for the supplies and materails... but, well worth it... and the information is great... but, don't forget the water bottle... not coffee...not soda... duha..... and watch the bags of sealed stuff.. as they will pop like baloonnnnssss... due to the lack of pressure way up their... smile... things are different... smile..
