Yep....you're right. Pilots these days come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. However, I will say that just because someone may have a bit of a belly, doesn't mean that they're not in good health though.

In some cases, I know the connotation of the word...pilot....automatically brings to mind some evenly tanned guy, with rippled abs and that chisled chin look jetting off to some far distant Marakesh type place. But that's the way pilots were portrayed in the 50's and especially the 60's. Unfortunately, that picture and mindset is still prevelant and foremost in some people's minds today.

Sorry......not the norm anymore.
