Low wing aircraft and high wing aircraft have their advantages and
disadvantages, but high wing aircraft have more advantages than
disadvantages and low wing aircraft have more disadvantages than

advantages.

How so?

Being a doctor, one would think that you'd be attracted to the studly
low-wing Beech Bonanza,


Yikes -- one of the three most dangerous things!

Ah, yes ... the old "fork-tailed doctor killer".

By listing the advantages and disadvantages of each and comparing the
results.

Makes me glad I am not a doctor.

"Forked-tail ERP software consultant killer." Nah, it just doesn't
have the same ring to it.

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.

We've been fighting for years on this subject with Jim Fisher and Jay
Honeck, trying to convince them that low-wingers are more masculine and
overall a better choice for real pilots, but they won't listen


Don't let him fool you, Doc Williams -- HECTOP is a known high-wing pilot
and Communist sympathizer. And we all know what them Com-simps are all
about, now DON'T we....?

By the way: It is now a direct violation of the Patriot Act to fly those
wimpy high-wing planes in uncontrolled air space


The aircraft of choice for terrorist attacks on skyscrapers is low wing.
