6'7", so yes.
On long hauls I never fly discount, so if I'm flying with a friend and I've got the window, I throw one knee in my friend's space, one knee against the wall, and kind of straddle the guys reclined seat. I wasn't about to tell someone they couldn't recline on my 10 hour flight through the night back from Brazil.
Inevitably my knees get smashed to when they make the initial recline if I didn't see it coming and hadn't already assumed the position.
On cheaper flights or domestic flights, the leg room is usually slightly less. Enough there is no way in hell you can recline in front of me. Usually there is a few knee crushing attempts while I politely tap the person on the shoulder and explain to them that the reason their seat won't recline is my knees are in the way.
I can't get my meal tray all the way down on flights, which sucks. I can't see my TV very well when the person in front of me is fully reclined because the angle is too much for the LCD screen, I can't sleep unless I get the window seat because my head is well over the headrest, and I can barely walk when I get off a plane.
So yeah, I feel your pain. It must suck to not be able to recline. That must make the flight SO uncomfortable for you.
