Am I too short? :(

I'm a 16 year old 5'2 Male, and I'm hoping to fly an F-22A ( I think everyone does Smile

) . But i've heard that there are ejection seat requirements, and there is some higher risk if you don't meet requirements for the seat. It's hard to get this info, and I'd really like to know. Thanks for your help.

Re: Am I too short? :(

Welcome,

I'm an 18 year old 5'11'' male. And also hope to fly the terror of the skys(a.k.a Raptor) . And I'm curious as well what the requirements are, I'm 244 lbs and plan to go down to 195 but don't know if there are requirements for across (because of the throttle,joystick,buttons,etc..). I would also like to know the information on that. Have you tried your local recruiter, or maybe your JROTC commander , he would know where to find that info.

Later.
