Well as a humble glider pilot I spend most of my airtime looking out of the window.
In my job I spend a lot of time being hauled around parts of Africa and S America in light aircraft, mostly Mr Cessna's products, driven by what are supposed to be "commercial" pilots.
And I've never known any of them to look properly before turning. And sorry guys, but in a high wing single, (for that read Cessna) it will always feel to me like I'm in a flying letter box.
Sorry Bose & the boys who do look out, but that's the way it is. I'm a lot happier in something like one of Mr Piper's flying devices. At least I can look for myself then.
