Well, I guess I have à question about the beard and moustache myth.

Having heard this many times, the oxygen will burn your facial hair and the oxygen mask not properly sealing?

I find this all hard to believe, having seen many pictures of fighter pilots having big moustaches (Robin Olds comes to mind amongst other). if the sealing myth really had any thruth to it, wouldn't the aviation authorities have long ago forbidden beards?
