Pilot with Hypoxia and ATC Audio

This got me thinking, what are the publicly-accessible options for hypoxia altitude chamber training?

I know the FAA has one in Oklahoma that pilots can go use, but are there others around the country that have regular open training opportunities?
 
After knowing no one was hurt, this was funny to listen to.
"...can't control airplane, heading or speed. other than that everything is A-OK"...
He was definitely in the Euphoric Stage!
 
That alarm goes off pretty early in the scheme of things. Well before sounding like you are drink and tired.
 
I'm glad everything turned out OK on that flight.

IIRC the lears are a very non-standard fleet as Lear just put stuff where ever the heck the customer wanted and used several different pressurization setups.
 
IMS, it was an Airnet Lear (or maybe Royal? Some freighter). There was a long thread on it a few years ago. Interesting stuff for sure.

Edit: Heh. I GUESS MAYBE IT WAS KALITTA.

It was a Kalitta Lear... Kalitta 66.

It is a good reminder of how sneaky hypoxia is. This very could have easily been another Payne Stewart type accident, thank God the captain hung on and ATC recognized it.
 
Yeah, the C/A showed some stones (or maybe just physiological adaptability) hanging on as long as he did. Could so easily have gone the other way. *hats off* to him and ATC.

If it was a 35-35 there are only 2 pressurization systems really.
