the airplane just in case we need to go high and everyone's got oxygen supplied to them so so there's kind of a little bit weather here up north where we're at and sometimes the clouds are getting between our flight path so either we have to go up high or stay low depending on the situation so we have oxygen in our aircraft so we're just getting these masks ready right yep in case we have to go above what so you want us to use it once we go over 10 but the regulation does say after 12 500. that's a 2 500 and the reason why i won 10 is because we have little kids right yeah and we want to make sure that they're they're properly well oxygenated so we just we're just taking care of our family yep that's so you know being being cautious on that better be safe then sorry okay good all
