This suggestion applies to the C172 and perhaps the C182 as well. At times, a pilot may choose to fly at altitudes above 10,000. While this may not always be the case for every flight, in situations when it is may be necessary, I thought it would be a good idea to have oxygen available in the aircraft in a similar manner to the P-51 Mustang.
Have a look at this video as a reference

Re: Suggestions for the C172
This has been discussed several times - and I think Scott is considering it.
Fwiw, you can certainly fly higher than 10,000' without oxygen in the sim - and longer than one would be legally allowed (under U.S. regs).
Also fwiw, that link is to a turbocharged Skylane which I would think typical to have onboard oxygen. Not so with a Skyhawk - I think it would be atypical to find it.
I do like the idea tho - it would be a nice add-on product.
