Heatblur F-14 and Forrestal Update

If only Ed would sprinkle some dcs full switcherooney love on the su27 or 33, then things would be very different.

Though if they did an f111, I guess all other modules would need respirators from the growing dust they would gather

My favorite callsign - a female FA-18 driver on the STENNIS/CVW-14 WEATPAC in 2004. She was big–something like 6’2". Call sign “Fish” - acronym for F–k, Is She Huge.

The woman who plays Brienne on GoT is 6’3".
What is the height range for modern fighters anyway? As in min/max for the ejection seats to handle safely? I know older fighters it was a bit narrower.

I have no idea. I only know she was huge. Also a nice person and a good stick.

The long delayed A-29 Super Tucano and AH-1 Cobra have been my anticipated modules. With hints of a possible OV-10, I might cave.

That was a very well done video. Overviews like this are gold to prepare for an upcoming release.

Not sure on height, I know there is a min/max for weight. I have seen a few tall pilots in the fighter world but not many. At 6’2" the F-15C was a tight fit for me for maintenance purposes, removing displays and what not. But it wasnt uncomfortable just sitting there.

Short stocky build is better for taking the G or so I read. I also read that in centrifuge research the USSR found women to take about half a G more than men on average.

Women are shorter than men on average. :wink:

Most fighter pilots I met in real life and most of the ones on TV seem to be shorter than 6’.
So yeah, maybe helps with Gs and when in a crammed cockpit.

A Luftwaffe officer once told me on an airshow that the maximum height for a Tornado is 1.87m.

Now how does this fit the topic of this thread? Perhaps swing wing stuff?
