Cool-hope he didn't get violated as that roll was done within controlled airspace. The feds have no sense of humor (or common sense as obviously this was a perfectly safe maneuver).
In the midst of my blahs, I've been looking at some of my '04 photos. Here's a shot of the oxygen control panel in the Red Yak, Race #88. This is not an original equipment item, so the challenge to the experienced warbird wrenches out there is to identify the source of this controller. I have no idea.
Yes Pea -- It was Earl's Race #40. Two years in the Gold with the wheels out in the breeze. This thing has a serious motor -- the acceleration on takeoff is really something!
He says everything we did was legal -- he was certainly in contact with controllers, and they knew him by name. Legal or not, it was really impressive, and really fun. I don't get to get upside down very often. Birgitta enjoyed her ride too. She came back all excited about learning what an "Immelman" was. She'd never heard of such a thing.... til she did one.
Peashooter, I looked and looked and couldn't find a regulator out there that looked like that one. If you get really bored go HERE to read a little about the O2 regulator we have in the C-5.

I don't think you will find that controller in any WW2 era warbird.
You will find it in a L-188, L-382, DC-8 and 747 that I know of.
