 Metric in Aviation!

In order to reassure the ICAO that the transition to metric measurements has broad support, ministers of aviation from the other 188 countries of the United Nations should express themselves to the it.
Responsible citizens of those countries should contact their representatives and aviation ministers, and demand that they insist on the metric system in worldwide aviation.

 History of United States American Aviation 1907-1951 in Brief
To all young Americans in whose hands will soon rest the responsibility for the preservation of the security of our country and whose job it will be to perpetuate those principles and ideals which have produced a system of government and a way of life that has made America the greatest nation in the World.
It has been said that this is the "Air Age," and that maintaining our nation's air strength and progress in the field of aviation is vital to our protection and to the peace of the world.
Everywhere in America young men began to think of careers in aviation, but aviation development required time, and when the United States went into World War 1 on April 6, 1917, Army aviation consisted of only 131 officers (of which only 78 were aviators), 1087 enlisted men, and 55 airplanes.

Unfortunately, combat experience revealed the Meteor to be outclassed by the jet fighter flown by the North Korean Air Force and its Soviet and Chinese Air Force 'advisors' - the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG15 - and after initial use as a fighter the Meteor was re-roled as a fighter-bomber.
