Flying is boring to the generation that has been raised on action
filled TV, movies, and video games.

Nonsense. They merely need to be shown the way.

And we're the only ones that can do it, Gene!

My son has a friend that has a truly awesome computer set up as flight
simulator. Alienware Area 51, Three 19" monitors and every flight sim you
can buy. The kid can shoot an ILS approach into JFK with 0/0. He can
probably out fly most Air Force and Navy pilots in anything from a Spitfire
to a Raptor.

He has zero interest in REAL flying. I don't understand it. I took them up
once and with zero coaching he was able to fly the plane. While I didn't let
him do take off or landing he was capable of perfectly coordinated flight in
S turns, turns around a point you name it.

When we landed he was very polite and thanked me for taking him up. BUT he
has zero interest in REAL flying. He later told my son it was just boring
and he couldn't imagine doing for a living much less for fun.
