Altitude Chamber

Those of us who fly at the higher altitudes need to fill our cluebags about hypoxia and how to recognize the symptoms. If you know your own personal symptoms, you can recognize a problem in plenty of time to take corrective action and save yourself and others in your jet. See a chamber ride in progress at Peterson Air Force Base.
