That really depends on how you define a geek.
An aviation nut who spends all his time at a party telling everyone
else about gliding probably qualifies as an aerogeek.
("How can you work out that the person you're talking to at a party
is a pilot? You don't need to work it out, he'll tell you. Boom-boom!")
I think gliding is an inherently geekish pursuit. The dedication,
attention to detail and intensity of focus is almost autistic in its
extent. Not exactly "Rainman" material, but I'm sure most of us have
seen enough weird-ass characters around our local airfields to know
that it's a close call.

Got one here already, I'm afraid. On second thoughts, she's a biology
geek, so maybe your thesis needs some modification :-)
