Hi all,

Came across this gem on the old YouTube, very interesting and somewhat scary. A good listen if you haven't already heard. The segment at 1min 10sec is when you really KNOW he's not thinking straight. But he did a great job nonetheless I'm sure you'll agree.

Makes you appreciate oxygen eh?


I know there's a lot of money in aviation because I put it there.

Really interesting Ellzy. It does make you realise how debilitating it can be and how the pilot himself didn't seem to know he was hypoxic. He was quite euphoric in that segment you mentioned "Everything A-OK" :ohmy:
