I would never have picked up on it, but the aviation magazines made a big
thing of it at the time.

This reminds me of the time when LearJet got a jet certified for 51,000
feet...the photograph in the aviation press showed both pilots smiling
into the camera at FL510 without an oxygen mask in sight. Always
wondered how the FAA reacted to that.

They probably had "quick donners" available, which modifies the reg.
