If you want to be in Sydney, there are a couple of companies there who might be after someone. Are you qualified?

So annoying, i could go into that my dad was going to fly the the A-4 for Nz but is too big to fit into the cockpit. Went into the recuritment office they asked what he wanted to do, then the answer back was how tall are you, 6 foot 5-7 and they said too big NEXT please.

Thats standard procedure , an A-4 cockpit is very small , they weren't picking on your dad .

I recall my one and only A-4 flight , i was told that if we needed to eject, i would more than likely leave my lower legs behind ... im 6ft 3" .

Oh yea just should have gone into that i've grown up hearing about aircraft dad was going to join airforce. In fact most of my early life the only planes i new about were airliners, Mig 29's and A-4k sky hawks. till i started reading and using the net.

Don't get too wound up, there's always somebody who's 'more suited'. I can't tell you the number of times I've been knocked back. Pick yourself up and get out there again.
