... I prefer high wing aircraft because I like to be able to see and take photos of objects on the ground. I've always got the option of going inverted and taking photographs straight "up"... Paul |

They both work.
I have flown and trained in both and push comes to shove I would take either. In the low wing it is harder to observe and photograph the ground, in a high wing you cannot see where you are turning and to me it is a little scarrier at uncontrolled airports where there is less visibility before taking the active.

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 |

There are no low wing birds.
Even the term "low winger" sounds faintly obscene. :-) |

There are no low wing birds. Yeah? Well there's no such thing as a high-wheeled truck, either! Wonder why that is? -- Jim Fisher |

I saw one on the highway the other day. It didn't seem to work too well,
though. Guess that's why there were all those tow trucks there to help it along. "Jim Fisher" wrote in message . .. "C J Campbell" wrote in message There are no low wing birds. Yeah? Well there's no such thing as a high-wheeled truck, either! Wonder why that is? -- Jim Fisher |
