Biggest and smallest aviators

I remember reading that one of VF-17s Corsair pilots was so small he had to
"get creative" to be able to use enough rudder on take off. Sometimes you
see a picture in which it looks like there is a contortionist gorilla in the
cockpit.

I know there are some size guideliness, and also know that there are waivers
signed here and there.

My topic proposal is:

Do you have some good stories to tell about guys that were really too big or
too small to be in that particular cockpit?
