I'm 6ft 4, what say for tall pilots?

I'm 6'6". I've flown C150, C172 and T37 and T38. All were a tight fit. I've also flown, B707, B727, B737, B747, B757, B767, B777, and A320. All were fine.

I’m 5’11” and I feel short walking through the terminals. Pilots seems like a tall bunch to me

I used to fly with a little pixie of a girl, no bigger than a minute and cuter than a bug's ear. One of the best pilots I have ever flown with.

She carried a cushion she would put behind her back and wore elevator soles. With that arrangement she could get full throw on the pedals.

When she upgraded, taxiing was a challenge because her hand was too small for the tiller.
