Post Cruising at 51000 feet

Caught the tail end of a FlightLine (Discovery Wings) with that bloke with the long hair taking a Gulfstream V up to 51000 feet.

Interestingly the other pilot had to wear an oxygen mask all the time above something like 41000 feet.

Also in the event of a pressurization failure the thing doves in automatically orchestrated by the electronics.

Not sure I fancy having to wear that mask all the time though
