Love the Mooney videos. This was well done.

No the FAR stipulates the when above 12,500ft for more than 30 mins then supplemental oxygen has to be used for all required crew members. Above 14,000ft all required crew members are required to use supplemental oxygen, but it does not specify that it has to be facemasks. You are allowed to use oxygen cannulas. If you are flying Part 121 at high altitude such as FL400 as an example, then yes, you are required to wear Facemasks such as Quick donning masks whenever the cockpit door is open

@mkortbek I thought the FAA required pilots to use a facial mask above FL125...
-
@zcg3 It seems that they are. There is a shot in the video where you can see that they're using the oxygen cannula.

What is the OAT? Experience icing? At FL220, it must be super cold!
-
I would assume that the Mooney is not pressurized. Flight level 220 & you're not using O2???
-
Very, very impressive. What really gets me is seeing the altimeter at FL23! I was not aware a single engine mooney could get up that hight. Wow.
-
Wow. Amazing. This is on my things to do before i die :) Amaing!!

Was this the first flight from the factory in Texas?

@scbonduk No the aircraft had over 50 hours before the crossing.

Does your plane have the Monroy long range tanks??

@Scrapheap71 This Mooney has the long range tanks, but it's a mooney option now, you can get 1400NM easily with a tail wind, although you wouldn't want to plan for that over the ocean as weather can change.

@soquan do you need visa in order to stop in a particular country? while crossing the atlantic?

@seaboo143 My experience is no you don't. If you are crew, then you don't, although I'm not sure about Canada. But if you have a US or European license, then I think you will be ok.
