I've never flown Virgin, but my brother (who's the same height as me)
has ... once. He said "never again", as it required quite some

Thanks for writing up your flight on aus.aviation Coop.
I did survive a scorcher of a day here in Perth. Slept in a drench of
sweat under the aircon and a fan until just before flight time. ....at
