ROFL...

Oops... We Cessna pilots believe everyone else like to look at the ground!

BTW, your post got me thinking about the one quality of low-wingers I hadn't
thought-off... unrestricted view of the heavens, clouds, etc...

Now if I could just get the sunroof on my 206 STC'd...! LOL

Well... I would, but Cessna wouldn't be happy about it 'cause we were
in our "manly" Piper Cherokee :) See, that's another reason to own a
low wing airplane. Better view of the heavens! (He exits ducking and
running)!

Only if they are Grumman's, Ercoupe's or similar canopy style aircraft.

I find it quite surreal to fly just under some very small scattered puffy
clouds while tilting my head back and looking vertically upwards out
of the canopy. The little clouds go zooming past at 100 knots just
above my head.
