Retired from Active Service, Offutt’s high-altitude chamber takes her last “flight”

A slowly inflating medical glove hangs from the ceiling of a high-altitude pressure chamber to visually remind Airman what is happening to the gasses inside their bodies as they ascend to higher altitudes during a training session April 4 at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb. The altitude tests allow Airmen to experience and learn how to deal with physiological changes that affect the body at high altitude such as trapped gasses, decompression sickness and hypoxia.
