As long as any speed is labeled with the correct units, I can deal with it.

Guys (and Sue :) ),

Right on, Mike. Let me just add this to the mix. I also fly Russian warbirds and the ASI is labeled with k/mh! Numbers are numbers when you are flying, just make sure you know 'em. When it comes to discussions on AS, it is nice to have a standard format, however. Most of us carry a conversion chart on the back of our formation briefing cards (some guys have klicks, some knots, some mph) and can also roughly calculate the difference in our heads...just takes a little practice. We're never going to get total standardization on this. If you need to know speed down to the gnats rear for some super secret squirrel precision formula that mortals could not hope to attain in real life while at the controls, convert and be happy!
