Cheap OX recomendations

I'd first check for carbon monoxide.

The other 3 occupants were fine.... myself included.

Ed Gauss, an old Alaska bush pilot, used to explain his wife kept
awake & happy by playing a harmonica. It meant she breathed quite
a bit more than if idle, and that was enough to make the difference...

Thank God for ANR headsets!

Some people think they hear a call to the priesthood when what they really
hear is a tiny voice whispering "It's indoor work with no heavy lifting".

He wanted her awake so he had someone to talk to...

Jeez, I haven't heard that name in forever. After his bush flying days,
he lived somewhere in NJ. Back when net.aviation was a smaller crowd
I remember going to a party at his house.

Last time we chatted, he was in Colorado. He was trying his hand at
sculpture, I think. Gulp (looking in mail log) that was 1993!

FWIW, shellEy still throws ST/SW parties....

That would affect everyone in the plane. It appears from the post that Guy had
no problems. CO also produces splitting headaches, which weren't mentioned.

On a trip last week, we flew for 3 hours at 10,000ft. Afterward my wife
complained of fatigue and at times during the flight she complained that she
couldn't "get enough air". I am thinking that supplemental OX for her would
be helpful. I checked the Aerox systems and the other systems, but they
seem pricey.

Given that this is a comfort issue and not a safety issue and is only for a
passenger, are there any other cheap portable OX systems available. Medical
systems perhaps?

Your best bet is to check out a flymarket at a large fly-in - Oshkosh
and Sun&Fun are good options, but somethign more local may also work
for you. For example, I paid less than $100 for a used TWA walkaround
bottle - basically a bottle with strap and mask that was used by TWA
crew to move around in the event of depressurization. You might also
check out Ebay for something similar.

Proper breathing can make a big difference. Slow deep breathing is the
key to good oxygen uptake. If she felt she wasn't getting enough air
she was possibly breathing too fast.

We bought the Sky-Ox system, it was really nice, works great, but was about 500$
I think. maybe a bit more. Pricey but worth it.
