Hope you and me can continue to keep the hatchet well and truly buried!
I'm sure we can

The only obvious disadvantage I can think of, would be in a high wing aircraft. I don't have a lot of time in high wing aircraft, but my overriding memory of them was hating the turns in the circuit, as I lost sight of the runway....ie where I was going.

Wouldn't a curved approach in a Cessna constantly hide the runway, and make judging your curve much more difficult?

Of course we could just ban all high wing aircraft
