That depends. In a RV-6A from the east I fly up to Leadville then WNW
over Turquoise Lake (I believe) then as Andrew mentioned. Just fly
over the mountains. No canyons to worry about.

What altitude do you fly, and what's the ceiling of your aircraft?

Also, do you use oxygen, and if so, at what altitude do you prefer to use it
(over and above FAR requirements)?

I'm about to try a Buena Vista - Turquoise Lake - Hagermann Pass - Ruedi
Reservoir route now, during the day (in real time). I didn't do very well
last night. This time I put lots of user waypoints in the GPS, just in case,
although I'm trying not to do anything that cannot be done with VORs alone.

MX,

Do you use oxygen when you "fly" that sim above 10000 ft? above 150000?

I use oxygen above 8000 or so, sometimes below. There's always oxygen in the
aircraft.

What do you do to sim that. Stick a straw or two in your nose?

I use my imagination.

Plastic bag over the head with a small hole in it?

I don't know if I'll ever walk on the moon barefoot. I suspect the odds
are the
same for both events.

Your scenario is far more improbable.

I tried flying to KASE tonight, VFR. It was quite a harrowing experience.
I
got lost for a time and came very uncomfortably close to a variety of
unfriendly mountains. But I did eventually make it, with only a dozen
gallons
or so of fuel left in the tanks.

Must have been quite an effort.
Was that before or after you had sex with the girls who posted today to
Voyerweb?

It was challenging. I found it interesting and enjoyable.

I don't understand this question.

Oddly enough, in many of the full-motion simulators there's a tank
of O2 that feeds into the cockpit of the trainers. Why, you may ask?
Because when the alarm goes off indicating loss of pressurization,
the pilots grab the fast-donning O2 masks. There were some problems,
such as the fact that the masks fit so well (as they are supposed to
do) that the people couldn't breathe! So when training for loss of
pressure, the staff makes sure the O2 bottles are connected and
turned on.

Acutally, for training purposes, I think they use bottled air,
not O2.

You mean they don't realize that they are just playing a game?

No -- they are training either to check out in the real thing or are
taking recurrency raining. It is NOT a game there!
