Spoiler https://www.calendar-canada.ca/faq/why-do-fighter-pilots-breathe-pure-oxygen "at altitude, pressure breathing of 100% oxygen at high airway pres- sures enables the pilot's alveolar PO2 to be maintained at a safe level." "The oxygen system onboard a fighter aircraft delivers a mixture of oxygen and air depending on the altitude the pilot is flying at. At higher altitudes, more oxygen must be added to the air to compensate for lower air pressure. At high enough altitudes, a 100% mixture of oxygen is supplied." "Breathing 100 percent oxygen at normal pressure can cause acute oxygen poisoning, which can lead to all sorts of symptoms, including: Fluid in the lungs, hyperventilation or labored breathing. Chest pains, mild burning on inhalation and uncontrollable coughing (sometimes with blood)" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern aircraft have a system called a Molecular sieve oxygen concentrator (or generator), which replaced older style liquid oxygen (lox) tanks. An msoc provides a mix of oxygen and argon for the pilot to breathe. The concentration of oxygen increases with altitude up to about 95%. The older lox bottle fed systems mixed oxygen from the bottle with atmospheric gases, again increasing the amount of oxygen as altitude increased. Lox tanks and the filling and refilling of them from cylinders of oxygen scared the bejesus out of me. I only ever acted as a safety bod when it was going on, but the rigger doing the actual job had to garb up in a hat/mask thing, thick leather gloves, thick leather kind of apron thing and so on. All the pipes got covered in ice and the stuff is basically extremely dangerous, being super cold and potentially super explosive if there is any grease contamination during the filling of the aircraft tank from the lox cylinders. And they were all stored well away from anything else in a special compound. edit. Here’s an internet pic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted March 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Probably a dumb question, and perhaps not worthy of polling status in Other Football, but it keeps gnawing at me: Would most VTers begrudgingly prefer seeing Birmingham City back in the Premier League (so they could enjoy the rivalry) ... or do VTers just want the club wiped from the face of the earth? People seem to revel in the Bluenose loathing. Don't you want it up close then in our league? But then why do you want the thing you hate back in your faces? I don't get it.

Never want to play them again. There is no positive to playing them. We lose and its hell, we win and its expected. Zero upside. I'd happily see them go to the wall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Ok, perhaps I don’t often wonder this, but there’s currently an eBay auction for an empty cardboard box. It’s a nice cardboard box, but it is an old, slightly worn, empty cardboard box. It’s currently up to £24. I was wondering how they were going to pack it for shipping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
