Of interest to all Lancair pilots, especially those pressuized is the
article on avweb at http://www.avweb.com/articles/highalt/ entitled When
humans fly high. A few points of interest are rapid decompression above
25,000' resulting in "the bends" and time of useful consciousness and the
effects of CO binding with the blood's hemaglobin. The Payne Stewart Lear 35
crash is reviewed.  After reading this article,  it makes sense to me to fly
in the lower flight levels rather the higher flight levels where we still
get very good true airspeeds and top most of the weather.  John Wright
