Discuss Can you become an RAF pilot regardless of height? in Royal Air Force on The Army Rumour Service; I am 6'4 but I hear there are maximum height restrictions.
Also, I have terrible eyesight. Do they ignore this if you get your eyes sorted out?
Appreciate the feedback....

If you have terrible eyesight then you may not even meet the standards for a private pilots licence and won't be able to fly commercially. If you have lazer eye surgery you still cannot fly commercially.

Regardless of height? - Some of their aeroplanes can go quite a long way up...... probably no place for a sufferer of vertigo.
