Oxygen makes you high? No it doesn't.
LOL, tylers spin fits the mod of the movie well, but let's remember, the lad was a little bonkers.
The oxygen is there cos like, 20 km up, there's really not much of that stuff around. And in most cases, humans need oxygen for sustain living.
I helped design & build some planes for a mission in Iraq. Flew one of them from Milwaukee to Balad Iraq, all the way VFR at 7,000 feet. When we got over the mountains of Kurdish territory we took her up to 17,000 (to avoid ground—>air missiles) and went on O2. I tried not using the Oxygen to see what it was like…not good. Vision started going towards tunnel-vision so I quit messing around.
I was in Balad for a year, had great dining facilities.
Yes!! We left and took our Ops to Tikrit (Camp Speicher) and I didn’t think I’d see better chow than Balad but Speicher was the bomb.
Exciting story. What happened? Did you make it back?
jks.
Is you currently located in Norway? What's with the flag?
Naahh I’m Norwegian American; flag for color…& pride. I asked mods to add it when everyone was getting their Pepe monikers. It was the coolest trip of my career. So many stories from just those 9-10 days trip. Greenland & Iceland were epic. 3:00AM approach into Reykjavek Iceland there was fog and we did a last second bank to avoid slamming into a church steeple adjacent to airfield. No one knew we were coming and our plane was military grey with no ‘N’ numbers ie no Registration. 2 Customs agents (not happy) met us as we opened door and my first question was what time is it? 3:00AM…but it’s light outside?! Second question where’s the bars? (High rate of alcoholism in Iceland). They pointed the way and by 4:00AM myself & mechanic were 8 blocks away in the bar district. Streets were overflowing with drunks but a Budweiser was $10 so we kept it low key. Had a whale steak the next day…I grounded the plane so we could spend a day as tourists. Icebergs floating in fjord next to runway in Greenland in July…grass & flowers covered the landscape. Mosquitoes so rabid they could knock you down. Scotland, England, Italy Greece, Turkey then the badlands. I fell in love in Troon Scotland but that’s another story 😎
In enough concentrations it makes you sleepy. The air we breathe has a so.ewhat low concentration of oxygen and is mixed with other gasses. In a more pure form, the effects are different than normal air.
As I understand it, 100% oxygen at sea level pressure is fatal. There can be too much of a good thing. Deep diving gas mixtures are nearly entirely helium, because the oxygen fraction has to be within the safety limit for the depth pressure of operation.
It doesn't make you sleepy, 100% oxygen keeps you awake and alert. This is why military aircraft have a oxygen regulator so the pilot can keep his concentration in times of high stress levels. Its also very good for hangovers.
Thanks for that.
Try hyperventilating. It sure isn't the nitrogen.
I used 100% oxygen lots of times from the aircraft I serviced when in the military, it does not get you high. Its very good for hangovers though, which is why me and lots of others used it.
