You are right, Wolf, about seat boarding weight - not the same as body weight. Interestingly, when I was flying the Phantom I was about that weight (in fact pretty much the same during my Hawk, F-15 and Tornado days too). I didn't have a problem with reach in any of those aircraft, but then the RAF didn't even start doing anthropometrics until after I finished flying the F-4. Fortunately, I don't recall anyone checking my medical records for my body weight whenever I changed types.
