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".

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. Brad (goes both ways...err with wings locations, that is...) "C. Paul Williams, MD" wrote in message om... 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 people equate the position of the wings to one's "manliness?"
