QUESTION: What do you guys eat up there? ANSWER from Randy Lau on October 10,1995 In the KAO the passengers will pack regular food with them. Sandwiches, chips, fruits,... The KAO also has hot and cold water aboard for drinks and instant soups and saimin. You generally want to drink enough water so that you don't dehydrate. The air is very dry at 40,000 feet. In Hawaii, the teachers did bring a lot of goodies to share with the flight and research crew...cookies, sushi, roast pork... Randy Lau
