I would be interested to know how many times you all have had that question asked in a social environment. Only once for me - my Auntie (who is so far up her pompous ...... ) made the 'annoying little buzzing things' comment. Apart from that most everyone else has either been interested about flying or plain uninterested.
As to the original question - my hobbies are flying, motor biking and water skiing. I’d plead guilty - noisy and fuel guzzling - good fun though, isn't that enough?
