sucks to be tall
hey - I hear you . . . I was told I was too tall to fly helos but not too tall to fly jets or p-3s. For the helos, it was because they put new seat cushions in the th-57 (which is small to begin with). They were very firm about not letting me go helos. Weird. For jets, I don't know the exact height, but I'm around 6-4 or 6-5 and I'm qualified, though just barely. All I can say is slump like crazy and keep asking different people until you get the answer you like. I got remeasured by some E dawgs at the flight doc's office, so you might prevail upon them to let you do it.
