Huh. I didn't know there was height/weight restrictions on flying jets. That would indeed be cool to do for a week. I've gone through those flight simulators that turn 180 degrees (upside down) and they're really fun.

@athanie: The RAF has very strict criteria on who they will let in, it's kind of like the Skull and Bones society - perfect vision, no asthma, good health, yearly fitness checks, high level of academic excellence, and sadly, in order to pilot their jets you have to fit a certain height/weight criteria.

@a_noob: that's a noble intent.. Also italian airforce - and I suppose every airforce - has very strict phisical and mental requiremerents, of course.
