Wing placement by itself doesn't have much to do with stability. Many other factors are at work. Ease of ingress and egress may be factors, as well as operating costs. Fly whichever type you're most comfortable with. Either way, there's always going to be a wing obscuring something you want to see!

This is all true but there is also a seventh type where a man pretending to be a cowboy poet who has murdered multiple people under the auspices of them being some type of mummy or werewolf recaps episodes of 1960’s television show Bonanza and sometimes Paul F Tompkins is there

Our web hosting service Ionos/1and1 is experiencing a database outage this morning. It is causing our podcast webpages to fail. This sucks. We have communicated with them and are waiting for their reply and repair.

True enough. But not providing a traffic advisory to an IFR arrival -- in Bravo airspace -- is an issue. The RJ crew literally never knew what hit them.

According to the Associated Press, ATC never advised the RJ crew in the DCA midair that the Blackhawk was nearby. I wonder when it would have made a difference... #DCA_midair #NTSB

From the latest issue of "Vectors": "Even with a U.S. Senator's attn, it's hard to find any real changes in the NOTAM system, which often seems more focused on obstacle-light outages than, say, runway closures or revised instrument approach procedures." www.uncontrolledairspace.com/ucap-news/20...
