I'll take a low wing aircraft over a high wing any day. Much better visibility where it counts, in the pattern and much easier to grease a landing with that nice ground effect cushion at the flare. Been around civil aviation my entire life; airborne at 9 mo, flew on instruments first because I couldn't see out, soloed on my 16th birthday, bummed rides at the airport if some one was going out to do aerobatic and then flew in the Navy. My dad was an Air Force pilot and instructed on weekends. The memories of Dawn Patrol breakfasts. My eldest still remembers flying with me early on and playing in the clouds. Lots of pleasant memories, but it is a very expensive hobby to stay current and safe. Enjoy!

It is so cool that so many truckers are either currently in/ working on/ or have been in aviation. We should start a truckers flying club.

Jump? Not voluntarily. No way. That plane better be in flames, headed for a mountain. I'm not scared of heights but the idea of approaching the ground at terminal velicocity with nothing to stop me but an over-sized handkerchief does not appeal to me.good-luck.gif

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
