This is gonna sound a lot like a Robert Frost poem.
High wined aircraft usually have two doors, low winged ones have one,
High winged aircraft, for pilots who fly in rain, let you get in without
getting the seat wet, low winged ones make the pilot wipe the passanger seat
with his slacks as he slides across.
Draining fuel from a highwinged airplane is easy to do, visually checking fuel
levels is easier in a low winged one.
Skirts and getting aboard low winged airplanes are a problem, and the damned
thing is, the pilot gets in first so he can't help or enjoy the view.
There's nothing with a lower wing than a Mooney, and that's what I have.
And yes, sometimes I do like my tail backwards.
