As stated... Why ?

Just an one example, :

Pros - best view - up and below. Strut braced wing is still an option. Easier to get into ? forward swept wing - auto spin recovery ?

Minuses - forward swept wing - some possible aeroelasticy problems ? Just a step to normal low wing ? Not enough "piperish" look ?
