Flown before, but scared about wings on top
 
I've flown these jets before and have felt very safe on them. The only thing that concerns me is having the wings on top instead of on the bottom :eek::

High wing fears? I doubt that any here actually remember (or have flown aboard) Avro's immediate post war entry into the airliner market, the not so legenday "mid wing' Lancastrian.

This would be a nice little treat for the aircraft, because if it looked over to the left while on final approach it could see where it was built ..... !

The only concern is if you are sitting near the wings, overhead lockers are much smaller in that section.
