If that's what YOU want, go for it, but...<br />Your notes on O2 use in an unpressurized airplane at altitude are important - and I delighted to hear that your company (apparently) does not quibble about O2 use. Who the heck wants a bubble-headed pilot driving their very expensive (if old - I think) airplane. If one thinks that they need supplemental O2 at 8,000 feet, use it! When closer to 10,000 feet and wondering if you need to tie a finger around your string to remember, ahem - use the O2. Duh? More than a few 'experts' consider flying at altitude - and without supplemental O2 to be as bad, perhaps worse, than flying with EtOH in your system. Those who fly under those conditions - like you do - are well advised to know their own physiological systems well - and before flying 'high.' They won't let you attempt a flight without fuel, and O2 IS part of the fuel load. Nuff said and thanks for a great post. <br />-C.
