Any tall frac pilots out there
Hello all, I'm just trying to consider options down the road and wondering how the taller pilots out there fit in business jets. I'm think / hoping for Net Jets, Citation Shares, or maybe Avantair. I'm 6'6', any one this tall fly any of the planes these company's operate? How do you fit? I have flown a metro, that was small but doable. I now fly a Saab and thats no problem. Any info would help, thanks in advance.

I'm 6'3" and fly Lear 25, 35 and 55.
The 25 sucks for space but no fractional uses them so no worries there.
The 35 is tight and since the 45 is the same fuselage you'd probably have trouble.
The 55 however has very adjustable seats, and space on either side of the pedals so you can stretch out. So a 60, which is the same fuselage you might be ok.

We had a guy who played for the sixers, who worked at Flight options. He stuck his 6'7" frame into a beechjet!
