A bit O.T. :
I read an accident report a few years back - an FBO in Europe re-filled an
O2 bottle with compressed air. In the ensuing high-altitude flight, the
pilot lost conciousness and the airplane crashed in the mountains. A
passenger, miraculously, survived and confirmed the cause of the crash due
to the pilot's unconciousness.

What I've wondered ever since I read it :
What would the FBO be doing with compressed air in the first place, and how
could this confusion occur? What *could* they have been thinking?

I think you mean this one: NTSB IAD97FA060
http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?e...08X07722&key=1 . It
was a T337 and happened in the US.

That is it - thanks.
Don't know why I had it situated in Europe. Was I just "hoping" it couldn't
happen in the US?

Anyone go to jail for this?
