20000ft in an Alouette III without oxygen on my 21st birthday. Couldn't make 21000ft and was feeling peculiar in the head. Must have been even more stupid then than now to attempt such a thing. Controlling rotor rpm in autorotation at that altitude is scary. The controls seemed to be very poor in response. I scared myself witless.
