Pretend somebody is extolling the "magic" of ice fishing to you. I can
intellectually understand how some people might feel this way, but I don't
"get it". By your admission, neither do you. What should they do to help
you see the light?

Because that is what you are asking w/r/t flying.

I'm from Wisconsin, so I know more than a few ice fishermen.

I used to have an employee who was absolutely ga-ga about fishing of all
kinds. She even sat out on frozen lakes for hours at a time, in a glorified
canvas outhouse, waiting for the fish to bite. Amazingly, she didn't even
drink (which seems to be a prerequisite to ice -- or any other -- fishing),
so God only knows what she did in that little confessional for all that
time...

I get your point, but I don't think we're talking apples to apples here.
Flying is one of the pinnacles of mankind's achievements, while ice fishing
represents...well, to put it kindly, mankind's stubbornness.
