Locally there are often 10 or more parachute Caravan runs to FL140 a day - they do not use oxygen but many of the locals involved have lost brain cells caused by up to 3 other substances other than never using oxygen. To chute people involved in gliding I am not saying all chute centres are like our locals. We often have to hold while the "meat balls" land on the field. Can anybody let me know of airports where the drop zone is away from the airport circuit as these guys locally really interfere with regular airport aircraft
>From what I remember Airforce pilots always use oxygen for night flying or is it above 5000ft at night.
