Dr. Don Coleman presented a program on Hypoxia, complete with diagrams. Hilites are:

• Use oxygen when flying over 12,000 feet altitude to prevent oxygen deprivation.
• At 22,000 ft, without oxygen, one has 2-4 minutes TUC [time of useful consciousness].
• At 34,000 ft, you need pressurized oxygen.
• Signs of hypoxia could be a headache, bluish finger nails, mental confusion.
• Consider using an oximeter which fits on a finger and indicates your oxygen level.

Following the presentation, the meeting was adjourned for lunch and hangar talk.
