Hi,
I work for KNPB Channel 5 Public Broadcasting in Reno Nevada. We are working on a documentary on the Reno Air Races.
I'm trying to understand what the pilot is experiencing as they enter the cockpit. What is the procedure as the race pilot is getting in the plane. The pilot enters the cockpit they close the canopy. At this point there is no air in the cockpit and they are breathing 100% oxygen at this point? What are the sights and sounds as this is happening. When the canopy closes does it make a distinctive noise? What does it feel like as the pilot is breathing the oxygen. Is the pilot smelling anything? Does it make a certain noise as the oxygen comes in? Are there any other environmental experiences going on of note?
Thanks,
Ben Asnis
