"Small aircraft are commonly used by Mexican drug cartels to smuggle

Especially Cessna 200 series.

Another good reason to fly a low-wing plane.


Why do you suppose they prefer Cessna 200 series over low-wing planes?

To clear the scrub brush and high berms on the sides of the dirt roads they
land on.

Another advantage of high-wing planes over low-wing planes.
