Re: am i too tall????!!!!!!!!!!

I can't tell you for sure, D_Rock, but I've seen a lot of tall pilots. I'm about your height, but 16, and I'm worried myself. But like I said, I've seen some TALL pilots. I haven't seen them RIGHT up close, so I don't know how tall, but we go over to where the 147th is stationed every Sunday because it's right by my church, and occasionally I'll see a pilot. Everyone of them has been tall.

Re: am i too tall????!!!!!!!!!!

Hi im new to this site, and am from England. Im nearly 17 and want to be a fighter pilot. I have reserached a lot into height, and it seems in our RAF (not sure how its done in the USAF though) and as for height i dont believe there is a minimum or max. height, i believe it is more orientated on specific measurements, such as knee to buttock length, which is something to do with the ejector seat. So to my knowledge it is unlikely that you can be rejected outright due to height, altough it is known that the shorter the person the greater the natural G tolerance-which is good for me as im only 5ft 5!
