Luftwaffe and RDAF Height Restrictions

Hey all
Just after the max height for these two forces, as I am a citizen of both countries. Thanks

I think it depends on what you want to do.

I knew one Luftwaffe officer who was known as 208, that was his height in centimetres, so I don't think there is a general restriction.

As long as you'll be able to exit an aircraft in one of Mr Bakers rocket propelled seats without losing overly long limbs you should be ok.

That is for aircrew of course, there shouldn't be too much restriction on other trades.

If you're on the tall side, they'll just have to shorten the spike on your helmet to fit you into a cockpit......
