Slamtofakie,

Presently on Sea King (similar to S61). Have flown Chinook before, as well as RAF training helicopters (Squirrel = AS350/355?? and Griffin = Bell 412).

Loads! of head and leg room in Sea King. Slightly less so in Chinook. Squirrel is tight for leg room, but Griffin is absolutely fine, no probs at all. Its seat moves up/down/fwd/back, so it gives plenty of space.

Dave_Jackson:

Physically challenged? 6' 4" is obviously normal, anyone shorter is quite clearly related to an Oompah Loompah from Willy Wonka and the Choclate Factory!
