Guest Miclhstrase Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Just go to the flight doc and tell him you are having alergy issues. The doc at Randolph gave me 3 months of Claritin and just DNIF'd me for 3 days to see if it would kill me. I picked them up Friday afternoon, took them over the weekend, wasn't dead on Monday morning and was flying that afternoon. Probably 20% of my class was taking Claritin at some point during UPT, it's not that big of deal. What is a big deal is flying with sinus block and busting your eardrum... I'll just give Claritin a try, it's over the counter anyways. Define sinus block? Like I said, I have sinus issues, but am almost never fully congested. My ears are ok with pressure changes, and i feel no pain with pressurization and depressurization to 10,000 feet, but that's all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herk Driver Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Last info I had was that Sheppard and San Antonio still had one back in 2012. (I realize that is a little dated) Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olevelo Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Pensacola and Randolph also have them. In addition, ROBD's are popping up in a lot of places. No good for initial but works for refresher. I'm going to Hurlburt's in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTP Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Andrews has one as well. Call to schedule: DSN 857-4654 or Commercial (240) 857-4654 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milchstrasse Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Thread revival. Where is altitude chamber training done now? Is it only at WPAFB? I'm not sure what you're looking for, but since you're in AZ, ASU also operates a chamber for students/general public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyFastLiveSlow Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 When I was at Mildenhall we went to the chamber in Amsterdam. True story. Please let this still be true. I'm headed to Mildenhall and my chamber expires in 6 months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcola Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 It's not. Did mine in Amsterdam while stationed at ETAR back in '09. But I've heard they've since gone to ROBD training instead. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARIs 'R' Us Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 It's not. Ratner might be right but, as of April '14 it was. They've been threatening to close it for several years, but were having trouble getting the ROBD cert'd for MAF guys (I'm pretty sure fighters are all in the sim now). I'd email your future DOT now to set up a date ASAP. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHAP Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Mildenhall is using the ROBD at Lakenheath, just did it a few weeks ago. Had three -130 guys and a KC-135 guy in my class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
