I was forced to switch to METAR etc but I'll be %$#&& if I switch to Knots!  I learned in MPH, my IAS is in MPH and I think in MPH.  If it is too difficult to convert, just skip my posts.  There, that is my story and I'm stickin to it. <G>

Seriously, some of us old pilots do not need more changes.  I'd rather concentrate on flying my Lancair safely using the brain power I have remaining... Earl
