the too tall to fly guy

James from Critical Animal tracked it down, and the passenger booted off the flight was 6 feet, 9 inches. For those of you on the metric system, that’s just under 206 centimeters.

All right, that’s tall. But it’s not that tall. Plenty of taller people have flown on airplanes. NBA teams have often flown commercial over the years, for example, and 6’9 is simply above average for an NBA player, not at all near the top end.
