Thanks, Dale! Out of curiosity, do you happen to recall what that height limit was?

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: At the time that I entered the service the Navy did have height restrictions, but I don't recall them being any different for fighter pilots than they were for any pilot. I do recall sitting in the seat of an A-4 Skyhawk when I was in Aviation Officer Candidate school. Someone looked in and told me that I'd lose both knees if I ever had to eject from one of those. If I'd ever had a desire to fly A-4s I'd pretty much lost it at that point. ;-) Image below from Dale Mullin - Image Title: photos Image Info: Dale Mullin climbing into a trusty "Tango Two Eight, Fighter/Interceptor" for a training flight.
