Most everyone knows what a Cherokee looks like. In my early flying
days, I was a Cessna-only pilot. I had no idea what Archer or Warrior
was.



An interesting observation. Having trained exclusively in Piper
products, I know when I was a new pilot I had no idea what a "Skylane"
was, let alone a "Skymaster" or "Skywagon."

Yet, from a distance, they all look pretty much the same.

Maybe ATC should just call us all "high wings" and "low wings"...


Or eagles and turkeys, respectively. :-)
