If I am flying in Y I like to sit directly behind the wing.

This all stems from my Dad telling me as a kid that if you sit behind the wing you can watch the wing. If you look outside and see the wing is still there everything is fine.

Of course this was in the late 70s and 80s when DC-10s kept falling out the sky and almost all my flying was on a DL L1011 or National DC-10 (the occasional Eastern L1011 or PanAm L1011............who else misses the L1011?)

OK, where was I? Oh yea,I sit in the back, right behind the wing.
