Well put, Uli.

I remember my two chamber rides while an AF pilot. Like you, I was
certain that it was no big thing until reviewing my performance post flight.

Recently my wife and I made a flight in our Cessna into a mountainous
wilderness area. After cruising for 30 minutes or so at 10,500' we came
over the valley where the VLA (Very Large Array radio telescope) is
located. I descended to 8,500' for the 40-50 mile length of the valley,
climbed over the last mountain, and landed for a picnic at the Negrito
airstrip (0NM7) in the Gila Wilderness.

On the way over I was thinking how easily I could remove the O2 tank and
MH regulator from the Stemme and secure it in the back seat of the C-180.

Hi Dan - my MH system came with a harness that is used to secure an O2 cylinder to the back of an airplane seat. The O2 cylinder in my Calif is where it belongs and I most likely will not use said harness. I'll bring it to Moriarty in June '21, if you want it.

Yes, thanks!
