July 9th, 2017: Plane Sex (Not Mile High Club)
During the Big One, WW ll, Rosie the riveters were ramping up production of materials, and the military was ramping up
training for all this ordnance. We had to get serious, and damn quick, so the training schedules were intense. The same was happening with all the good guys(nations on OUR side), even the ones in active warfare. This led to increased combat training accidents, probably nowhere more so than flying, because they don’t get many do-overs. During Aussie flight training… Quote:

I am SO GLAD to have been advised that I should never ever get in an aircraft due to the very high risk of my eardrums rupturing (severe TMJ is so fun!). Massive stud points to anyone capable of surviving that, much less LANDING it and walking away!

Commercial flights are supposed to be pressurized to the equivalent of about 10,000 feet. Out in your neck of the woods it's not to hard to do that on the ground. I noticed my ears popped a couple times driving to Ohio and back on tuesday, and that never got above 2600 feet.

I'm at ~700-750 feet, my ears pop when I drive to Nashville. I-65 goes over a small ridge several miles north of Nashville. GoogleEarth says it's less than 900 feet.
