Standard max height for a fighter pilot is 6'2". At 6'3" the cockpit canopy can't close and securely lock into position because the pilot's helmet would be in the way.
I never knew that but enlisted as a pilot and showed up to recruit and after finding out I WAS 6-5, tried to offer me mechanic and other base positions. Marine Gunny saw me being uncomfortable came over and told me I could be field Artillery and direct cannon fire. Just my long way of saying that I experienced what you just said
