I'm 6' 3 slightly larger frame but at a healthy weight for my size but I do have a shortfall, my sitting height is taller (longer torso) than average but not by much. I have learned that flying smaller light planes can be uncomfortable, older Cherokees, Bonanza's, Cessna 340 just a name a few. My head hits right at or is close to the ceiling which is uncomfortable, doable but uncomfy. In my experience so far I know to avoid any Learjet or VLJ (Mustang etc). I fit comfortably in any King Air.
Nothing to do with Netjets, but I am a Lear 35 driver. I am 6' 3 and 250 pounds and I fit in fine. Anything over 3 hours though and I'm ready to get out.
