Size does matter...Are you too big for the cockpit?

I'm a shade over 6'1" and at first I was anthro'd out of EA-6B's (as an ECMO). And the T-45 for that matter. Next time things worked out. I just finished in the T-45 and it was pretty small but there are guys way bigger than me who make it work.

Bet that was a joy in the Goshawk
Every one of those ten traps slammed my knees into the panel, each time I got out of the jet I was bleeding badly. The boss actually saw me rubbing my knees as I was getting gas on deck and asked me if everything was OK in there, rogered up with a hearty yes sir.
A buddy of mine is 6'5 and makes it work in the Goshawk. Not sure how exactly, but he gets it done.
I almost didn't get to fly at all. I was anthro'd out of the relief tube in the T-34, but they gave me a waiver for good aim.
6'2" and the Orion cockpit is downright spacious.
The rack in the back, however, could use an inch or two more in length.

That speaks for itself.
I always feel like the FE's are the one's who decided who would get which racks. I feel cramped side to side in that damn thing, and then I jealously look down at the FE sprawled out on his rack without the curvature of the tube smacking him every time he moves. I do have a convenient panel to pull down though, so I can wake up in my little 3P cocoon extra sweaty and disoriented.
Ah, the curtain!We had one plane a while ago that when pulled down, the flap said,"The pilot rack is now a whack shack." Which always got some chuckles from the folks in the galley.
