One of the things I *do* like about my B-17 is that when I stand to climb, the nose is still (just barely) there. It feels more secure to me, and it means I can just slide back at the end of the climb, without hooking my shorts.

I'm probably the only one who likes the nose for that particular reason, I admit, but...it's still a reason!
