In this case, they're "interested in aviation" in the same way NASCAR
fans are interested in internal combustion -- "Gonna be a cool wreck
today??"

No matter how much reason you apply, the average person (non-pilot,
non-enthusiast) puts up with flying -- they don't like being "up
there."

And, if you think about it, you can't really blame them.

Well, you might not want to go quite as far as NASCAR. I know a lot of
people who are NASCAR fans. These people might be unique in racing.
If you put your theory up to them you just might get out alive by
dodging adeptly the empty Budweiser bottles coming your way.
