'JUST LIKE A FOOTBALL HELMET': A borrowed crash helmet and oxygen mask are adjusted for a snug fit before "going up." The helmet not only is a safety precaution, but it also shuts out considerable engine noise while flying in a jet. The oxygen mask was unnecessary during the 30-minute flight at some 21,000 feet altitude.
