View Full Version : Harrier Crew Limits whistla 22nd Jun 2009, 19:44 Does anybody know the weight and height limits for crew in the Harrier (min&max)? Thanks in advance! Could be the last? 22nd Jun 2009, 19:50 Speak to Martin Baker via BAE; however, it is one of those grey areas.:ok: Time Flies 22nd Jun 2009, 21:15 Harrier pilots do not have limits. :cool: whistla 22nd Jun 2009, 21:22 The pilots may not but im sure those back-seating will do :ok: Truck2005 23rd Jun 2009, 18:46 The hover program we used at St. Athan would not accept a pilot weight above 220lbs for some reason! Vage Rot 23rd Jun 2009, 20:51 If you need to ask then you are too fat - fatso!!:rolleyes: Merged 24th Jun 2009, 19:32 Just trying to remember what happened to the last passenger in a Harrier....:E extpwron 24th Jun 2009, 21:42 Minimum hat size 7 5/8 inches (62 cm) Flat Spin 24th Jun 2009, 22:03 Oh for Heaven's sake, he only asked you a simple question. What is it with you military guys? whistla - sorry mate, wish I could help you but I don't know the answer davejb 24th Jun 2009, 22:13 Actually it's that well known practise called banter - as an ex military type I would expect any question to be answered by one or two sensible people, and a veritable horde trying out their 'banter' in the faint hope that they'd developed a noticeable sense of humour since their last effort. (Usually a case of hope triumphing over reality). This IS a forum for military types, and ceaseless p*$$ taking is in fact what occurs day in, day out, in the miltary. What is it with you military guys? What's it with people who aren't military going on military sites then complaining that they don't care for the way the people on there behave? As long as there's nothing rude or offensive what's the beef? Gainesy 25th Jun 2009, 15:38 what's the beef? That's the thing like a horse with pointy bits next to its ears.:) Climebear 25th Jun 2009, 15:54 No - that's the venison. davejb 25th Jun 2009, 17:53 No, it IS beef. Yeomen dai 24th Jul 2009, 22:00 No, it is venison. AdLib 25th Jul 2009, 09:39 ......beef DaveyBoy 25th Jul 2009, 09:44 ...Venison! grobace 25th Jul 2009, 09:55 C'mon, guys! It could be beef or venison. But, as everyone knows, the best beef comes from Aberdeen Angus, and that's a polled breed.

Nah, never seen any at a polling station. Jig Peter 26th Jul 2009, 09:36 Not just the Navy, m'lud - RAF drill instructors told (i.e. loudly, as an order, with proper pauses) us that on practically our first line-up three thick ... and many years later it was still true. Probably still is, innit? But also true is "I can take a joke, but f*** a pantomime" (but not out loud, not in front of the Drill Corporal, to whom talking back is not done). Happy days, leading on to even better jests, japes and suchlike from on high ... :E DummyRun 27th Jul 2009, 01:28 My Dear Whistla, Apologies on behalf of my fellow PPRuNers, maybe there should be a "sticky" post explaining that you won't get a sensible reply if you ask about "viff, viff nozzing in the weedosphere" Came across a guy a few years back ( not literally you understand, different Sqn and all that) but he used to fly Harriers and I would have put him at 6"4 and 220#. Was a rumour at the time that Red 10 would get a CH 47 instead of a Gazelle............... |
