hehe.. that doesn't sound british at all!... Was talking to a hornet driver who was good friends with the IP in the hawk, apparently he busted his leg up pretty bad and was in rough shape, but pretty lucky all things considered... great insight into how well these men handled such circumstances

How tall were the guys that couldnt fit into a hawk cockpit?

Couldn't have said it better myself... I am the same way, I've heard a few horror stories of guys that got so far and then got the dreaded call that something showed up on an ECG or further medical... I'm just excited as heck to finish up this term at school and get the whole process rolling...
