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.

....which is why high wing aircraft are verboten. Don't you get it?

Dam, guess I busted some new regs when I flew through the Salt Lake bravo
airspace on the way to OSH then landed in Reno (Charlie) on the way home
from OSH. And no, we didn't impersonate a low wing aircraft. All radio
calls were "Skyhawk 717SP". Please oh please don't turn me in Jay. I'll
come stay at the Inn...I'll buy you a beer...I'll even promise to fly a
Piper sometime...

It's not redundant as much as it is a religious issue here. Be ready to
have your manhood questioned for training in a high wing.

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

Training in a high wing is OK, just like when you were 5 years old,
you used training wheels on your bicycle, or water wings in the wading
pool.

But at some point the boy must grow into the man, and in aviation,
that means graduating to a manly, hairy-chested Low Wing
aircraft...like an Aircoupe, for instance.

Why do so many Cherokee drivers extol the "manliness" of low wing airplanes.
Come on, a Cherokee?

Because they have an inferiority complex that makes them proclaim characteristics
they do not actually have.

Why do so many people equate the position of the wings to one's "manliness?"
