Altitude Record | Personal Best

Jace wanted to experience a high altitude flight to see if he could feel the effects of hypoxia so up we went. We were gonna try for 12500' but it got really chilly and plane was getting kinda sluggish in the climb so we decided to call it quits at 2 miles instead.

For the record, we did not feel hypoxic at all but neither of us smoke and both of us are in pretty good shape so I guess that's not all that surprising.
