Now there's an idea. I was just thinking "mind over matter" so
they endure the odor the way they endure the cramps and burning
lungs.

Luckily, the bloom comes and goes, and one can seal up one's
atmosphere early in the onset, so the air can pretty much
recirculate for the duration. Leaks can be dealt with by
deodorants, ionizers, and whatnot.

Generally it's the military aircraft that go above Mach 1,
although I heard that somebody or another had thought of
unretiring the Concorde (which would be a tough job).

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.04

      Title: Black Pudding From Scratch (English)
 Categories: Misc, Sausages, Pork, British
      Yield: 6 servings

  1 1/4 qt Fresh pig's blood
  8 7/8 oz Bread cut into cubes
  1 1/4 qt Skim milk
      1 lb Cooked barley
      1 lb Fresh beef suet
      8 oz Fine oatmeal
      1 ts Salt
      2 ts Ground black pepper
      2 ts Dried and crumbled mint

  Put the bread cubes to soak in the milk in a warm oven. Do not heat
  the milk beyond blood temperature! Have the blood ready in a large
  bowl, and pour the warm milk and bread into it. Stir in the cooked
  barley. Grate the beef suet into the mixture and stir it up with the
  oatmeal. Season with the salt, pepper and mint.

  Have ready 2 or three large roasting pans.  Divide the mixture
  between them ~- they should not be more than 3/4 full. Bake in a
  moderate oven -- 350 F ~- for about an hour or until the pudding is
  well cooked through. This makes a beautifully light pudding which
  will keep well in a cold larder.

  Cut into squared and fry till heated through and the outside is
  crisp, in bacon fat or butter.  Delicious for breakfast, or for
  supper with fried apples and mashed potato.
