Default High or low 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

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, so the
subject is a taboo here now because of those two. Please try looking it all
up in http://groups.google.com

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 (because we all KNOW that
high-wingers require careful and repeated direction in order to land
safely), so unless you want to only fly into Class D or better airports, I
suggest that you purchase a manly low-wing plane.

Being a doctor, one would think that you'd be attracted to the studly
low-wing Beech Bonanza, but there are other very capable aircraft out there,
like the Cirrus SR-22.

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.

My brother always said I couldn't ever have a Bonanza because I have a PhD.

It's the other way around. Doctors are Bonanza wreckers.
