Don't some aviation people recommend O2 for all extended flights above
9000'? Are you sure it is not a medical issue in her case? (Latest

SportStat Pulse Oximeter - Nonin Medical, Inc.
Plymouth, Minnesota (10 miles west of Minneapolis)

A fantastic, almost magic, piece of equipment and (except for the
label) identical to what doctors and hospitals often use. If your wife's 02
saturation at altitude is consistently less than that of others, it is
certainly something to get checked. If you fly with 02 a lot, a pulse
Oximeter can save you a bunch of oxygen (because you may be able to safely
use a lower flow) and give you peace of mind.

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...

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....

Yahoo's "People Search" turns up an Ed Gauss in Colorado. Might be him.

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".

If you ever go to Oshkosh or Sun-N-Fun EAA meets, you can get a show discount
for some of the brand names. I got a fully equipped SkyOx, four place 15cf
system for $481 (+ shipping).

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?
