I'm in the cockpit of the Eurofighter Typhoon

I was in the cockpit of the eurofighter. I saw the C-17 when I was in the queue line, but it was worth it. They took a photo of me and then an employee said that I should come back in two years ;-)

Hey man

Out of interest, how tall are you?

It seems like quite a small cockpit.

Its just i'm applying for the RAF, and I want to estimate whether I would fit into this thing ;D

[SoltauCruiser]

I don't know exactly.

I think I'm about 5.9 ft tall.

I once sat inside a Mig-17 cockpit.

@PSPmaster321 If I can remember correctly, if youy want to be a fast jet pilot you can't be any taller than 6'2 and no heavier than 16 stone. This is mainly because the Grob Tutor (elementary training aircraft) won't take anyone over those limits. I dug the info up on a forum which there was a RAF applicant talking about height and weight so I can't confirm everything is true but it seems true enough.

After playing lomac so many times I bet I would have started the engines and closed the canopy. THey would be like WTFFFFF !!! PEeeeeeace !

[LoyalRoyal1992]

[PSPmaster321]

Thanks for the info man.

Farnborough is an awesome, but I also like the Air Tattoo, i've been 6 times now =D

Damn, that doesn't sound good for me, i'm 6ft exactly.

I sat in the cockpit of one at Farnborough Air Show (2006 I think it was), and at 5ft 11' / 180cm it was tight but I think doable even if they gave me a helmet and lowered the canopy.

[PSPmaster321]

Ok cool.

Thanks! =)
