Blimey, I didnt think I'd start all this when I posted my light-hearted comment above!
Lonewolf; Expect incoming from TTN. I suspect he has more military time than you. And on a real aeroplane (English spelling) to boot.
We say eject on aircraft with ejection seats.
We say bail out on aircraft without them.
Ironically, on the V Force, as is well-known, only the pilots had ejector (sic) seats, we second-class citizens down the back had to bail out!
And don't get me started on how to spell tires....
I remember seeing an advert for "tires" in an British magazine from the 1890s. I think a lot of these so-called "American" spellings are in fact old English spellings which we have changed but which the ever conservative Americans have retained.
Anyway, bye for now, I'm "tired"
