Cirrus Killer? Cessna just doesn't get it...

Well, high wing and shoulder wings come to mind...
AV8 Harrier
FA18
F14 Tomcat
B52
FA22

Probably more but I'm not a military type... Let others chime in...

The $350K Cirrus driver on our field sold it, and his brand new hangar,
after he wrecked the plane - twice... Dunno what was playing in his
head at the time, but it should have been the theme from Get Smart...

I will take being able to stand up out of the weather under the
protection of the high wing any day over trying to hold an umbrella
while loading pax and baggage.

Not to mention stepping up onto the wing to enter the cabin. I have been
flying more Angel Flight patients lately who are having a problem with
this.

That is where the Cherokee Six/Saratoga are the most practical.
The rear doors are low enough to allow the pax to set their butts down
on the lower door sill and slide/turn into the cabin.

Just remember that it's the co-pilot's job to do the preflight. :-)

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Attention passenger of Blue Sky Flight 999. There will be a slight delay
before boarding.

I forwarded this to a friend, and he didn't see "preflight". He saw kitties
lining up for a buffet immediately following a landing.

Yes, and to walk around outside the airplane (on top of the wing)
without getting eaten.
