Damn, then their flight suits are gonna get all snotty. Would the pilot be responsible for cleaning the windshield if he sneezed on it? Or could he make someone else do it?
It is the stupid question thread after all.

Not an aviation question, but a Navy question.
When these were in action, did they have to " turn into " the shot?

Yea, it seems to be a stupid answer thread too. Seriously though, does an O2 mask wearer get snot faced?

No. Next question.
Helos do not typically have O2 in the aircraft. If you are operating in an environment that could require oxygen masks, then a "backpack" like device can be rigged to the back of the seat that will contain the O2 equipment.
The only helo pilots I've ever heard actually using it was test pilots.
In my 5 squadron tours, I have never heard of a squadron actually having the equipment to install. If we needed it, I guess we would have to ask our Wing and then I don't know if they would even have it.
So, the answer is, a helo can be fitted with an O2 system for the pilots, but it is incredibly rare to actually install it.

Pretty sure the AF does it.
Thanks. I was asking because I thought a saw Fat Albert parked over by the depot hangar at Tinker a couple months back, but couldn't be sure.

Are you saying you've designed a full AAR kit for the C-2, or did you just sketch a drogue hanging from the back of a C-2 on a napkin and call it a KC-2?

KE-2. Concept/design to include weight/balance and powering pumps, reels, etc is worked out. Final dimensions are not.
COD version would probably be way easier, just from a packaging standpoint.

Except NGC isn't building C-2 fuselages at the moment, while they are building E-2s.
I know you were speaking Navy, but the AF Pavelows used O2...eventually. When they first went into Afghanistan, they didn't have it and just dealt with the effects as best they could. I worked with a couple of senior Pavelow pilots at Whiting and they had some interesting stories.

I'll see if I can dig up where - I've heard but can't remember.
