You just wrinkled my brain. Is there an actual group of fighter pilots without legs who are taking advantage of this?

The other thought about legless pilots is the feet I think are used for the rudder control (pedals), so there is some loss of ability to control without using your feet. While I think computers could probably take this over, in the end it does mean two less things to interact with the plane.
