Taking a breather
SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Maj. Mark Mount relaxes while he breathes oxygen before his flight in a U-2 Dragon Lady at a forward deployed location. U-2 pilots must breathe pure oxygen for an hour prior to take off to reduce the amount of nitrogen in their blood stream. This astronaut-like flight suit is a requirement for the pilots because of the hazardous physiological regime of high altitude flying. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Suzanne M. Jenkins)
