The oxygen loss from that 3500 foot increase is 70% of the
amount that would occur by going up 5000 feet instead;
I'll leave it to each reader to determine if getting 12%
less oxygen instead of 17% less oxygen will result in a
noticeable difference in performance.

The candidates are an interesting group with diverse

North American Free Trade Agreement] and against NAFTA; for
the Patriot Act and against the Patriot Act; in favor of
liberating Iraq and opposed to it. And that's just one
senator from Massachusetts."
