"Aircraft flying without a purpose gets old quick."

What does that mean other than that flying in and of itself is often

I always have a purpose when I go up. So, never gets old. But flying
with no purpose is an expensive waste of time. Still interesting, but
what's the purpose? After over 50 years at it and having lived in the
same area for 46 years there is little I have not seen or done around here.

Why can't you admit the obvious, Liarboy?

Road racing requires almost continuous focus with absolutely no time for sightseeing.

Flying is a fine thing to do, but it doesn't require continuous focus.

No, I most certainly am not.

If you like, I will produce the quotes, but it won't end well for you.
