They both work.

I have flown and trained in both and push comes to shove I would take
either.

In the low wing it is harder to observe and photograph the ground, in a high
wing you cannot see where you are turning and to me it is a little scarrier
at uncontrolled airports where there is less visibility before taking the
active.

Hi, I'm new to this group and new to piloting, just having passed my
private pilot FAA written and about halfway through flight school.
I'm training in a Cessna 172SP and have a question for the experienced
pilots out there. Do you prefer flying a high wing or low wing
aircraft and why?...I apologize if this is a redundant question on the
newsgroup.
Thanks. CPW
