Hello everyone, I am sure this question has been asked already in some form or fashion. But wanted to get more of a personal answer for myself
I am interested in pursuing a path to become a Pilot. Of course I would love to be an F-16 pilot but I do not want to limit myself to one adventure. but a little about me: I am 28 years old with a Bachelors degree in computer science. I currently work at NASA as a programmer but the desk job is becoming tedious and looking for new options and adventures. I have always wanted to be a pilot but was told in my high school years that I was too tall standing at 6'4. I would like to hear some suggestions if pursing this path is worth it or am I too late and will be wasting my time or even what steps to take. Thank you in advance |

| I believe you have to start pilot training by your 27th birthday. Sorry :/ |

| Just need to be in UPT by 30. But at 28 you are quickly running out of time. As for the height, I know some tall Viper drivers but I don't know about 6'4" kind of tall. |

| Would it even be possible to get into UPT from scratch in 2 years? (I don't know the process and I'm not trying to put the OP down) |
