Oxygen is required at 15000’ but not at 14999’...I’ve been to 17000 w/o oxygen with 40 others in a DC3. It was a slow forming location as everyone was a little logy for the first half minute of a 90 sec freefall.

You are pushing it with 17000 in a DC3 however I was at 13000 in a DC3 and that in itself is a great "happy hour lala time".

BTW, a DC3 is a 26 max load limit via carrying capability aircraft...

I've hiked at nearly 15,000' and could only walk about 50 yards at a time before stopping to catch my breath and take a break before continuing on to the top of the mountain.
