Some people in work mentioned things they were "in to" as
children. I said as a child I was into cars and planes. They
looked at me funny.

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.


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.

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?

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

No. Ever seen a bird with fixed-geometry wings? A bird driven by a
propellor?

Okay, in that case, I'll choose neither.
I'll go with a mid-wing design called an AEROSTAR!

I prefer high wing aircraft because I like to be able to see and take photos of
objects on the ground.

If you don't tell lies, you never have to remember what you said.

Yeah, who cares what's happening overhead? All the excitement is
below, and below is where you're inevitably going to land.
