"If you can fly a tomahawk you can fly anything"
Unlikely I think. Try flying any military jet, land a taildragger on a crosswind, anything aerobatic with more than 250 ponnies or a fully loaded airtractor... The truth is that in the states they tend to have better newer equipment and got rid of the tomahawk due to their tendency to spin characteristics and Ad's.
Most aircraft can be safely handled by a properly trained pilot but if I was doing my PPL I would stick to the cessna.
