Well, I find flying fairly boring too...unless I'm in control, or navigating at the very least. Just looking at the view is nice, but gets monotonous after a while.
Along similar lines, I have a helicopter student who tells me she did everything including the take-off and landing on a f/w trial lesson. I suspect that because she's getting on a bit, the instructor made it look as though she did, to make her feel good. It had the opposite effect - she thought it was boring and no challenge. She's now struggling hard with helicopter flying, and saying it's really difficult and a real challenge, and she LOVES it!
Among other things, proof that everyone's different.
