Not especially, but only because I have little interest in flying. I was a Gas Turbine fitter in my younger days. I kept them flying rather than flying them. 😉

I have never really been attracted to the 'classics'. I once read Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia). I was tremendously disappointed and bored to tears.
