For what do they use this?

 

A10's didn't have a on board oxygen generator until recently (2011-2015), the oxygen had to be carried on board - this dude's either filling her up, offloading it or some combination of the two.

I worked with Liquid Oxygen (LOX) in the Navy, and it isn't flammable contrary to what you might read. It does however, make everything else infinitely more flammable. For instance, if you have oil on your boot and you step on some spilled LOX, it will not only catch fire but explode and send you flying. The highly concentrated oxygen brings the flash point of the oil down to below ambient air temperature and makes it flash burn. Lighting a match in an oxygen rich environment turns the match into an incendiary grenade... the match burns exponentially hotter and faster (not the oxygen). Remember your fire triangle.. any one of the three components in excess (heat, fuel, O2) decreases the required amount of the other components.

 

It's also as cold as liquid nitrogen(-362f), so it's fun to freeze stuff to shatter (wallets, gear left on flight deck, Master Chief's cap)

 

PROTIP:

  • Catch a rat
  • Soak it liberally in LOX for 3-5 minutes
  • Find a running Jet Engine (preferably a huffer unit, since it's facing the sky)
  • Toss the LOXy rat directly into the Jet Exhaust
  • Watch the unwitting rodent's balloon knot become a rocket nozzle, propelling it at mach 6
  • WARNING: rocketRat has poor guidance, duck and cover

It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm

Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

 

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
