The problem is, even for some people who are otherwise interested in
aviation,
the idea of flying a tiny plane around the pattern is neither mystical
nor
glorious, it's just boring.

This is not the case, in my experience. I've heard it called all
sorts of things, from "breath-taking" to "terrifying" -- but never
"boring".

I for damned sure can't think of a minute I've spent in (an actual) pattern
that I would describe as "boring."
