Im aware, which is which is why I used the term “supplemental o2”, but glider pilots are notorious about not using it. It’s heavy and the o2 has about 0% moisture. This guy is clearly screwing around at 16-18,000’, which is the low end of where the jets coming in from the west are. I’d put some money on our author wasn’t using any.

Why no troll, but he probably shouldnt put it on Youtube and then share it on the internet. The FAA, it turns out, is aware of Youtube and is known to violate pilots, pull their certifications.
