Strafing, rocketing, bombing, air combat, going very fast and very low (sorry, 
Canada): all these activities were purely professional with no hint of 
enjoyment ...

No, seriously, the only time of boredom was after 3 years of flying low over 
the north German plain.  I knew it like the back of my hand and there was only 
the Osnabrueck Ridge to relieve the flatness.  It's dangerous to fly when you 
are bored: low arousal states lead to accidents when you're moving fast.

It was all enormous fun, otherwise, but my students make me feel guilt about it 
all when I try to get them to shut the doors (to keep the heat in) or turn off 
the lights.
