    Height for Fighter Pilot

    I am 16, 6'1" 145 lbs.  After graduating high school I plan on attending Royal Military College in Canada and becoming a fighter pilot through the Regular Officer Training Program.  My main concern is height, my mother is short and I am already taller than my father so I really do not planning on growing any taller.  What is the height limit for fighter pilots?  And a question for Air Force pilots;  What should I be doing right now to prepare myself and give myself an advantage once I enter the Air Force.

    I don't know the limits for RCAF pilots, but 6'1" is fine in the USAF.

    I think for the fighter pilot standing 64"-77", sitting 34"-40" but 6'1" is fine in the USAF.

    A Fighter Pilot should have enough height. This is the rule for select a perfect pilots. In military, there are some rules for choose right candidate. Physical qualification is must in military.
