Airman 1st Class Brendan Davis gives instruction to Coast Guard aviation maintenance technician students from Elizabeth City, N.C., Coast Guard Station, in the altitude chamber during training March 23 at Langley Air Force Base, Va. While in the altitude chamber students are exposed to atmospheric conditions at 25,000 feet. Without the aid of an oxygen mask they experience symptoms of hypoxia, an oxygen deficiency of the tissue and blood cells that causes impairment of function at high altitudes.
