Around here we very rarely see cherokees. People just don't find them
useful for mountain flying.


What, you guys don't have airports yet out West?

Sure we got airports. Cherokees just ain't any good when there aren't
airports.

Sounds like fun, but I suspect you're describing 1/10 of 1% of all flying.

Which isn't to say high wings don't have their good points. It's just
"off-airport usage" really isn't terribly relevant to the vast majority of
pilots.
