I feel the spirit of applied pedantry displayed above warrants mention of the use of 'Yanks' in connection (or connexion) with our friends over the pond.
As some of the more colourful (colorful) characters I have met there live well south of the Mason-Dixon Line, I learned long ago not to apply the term to any but them fancy folks up north.
To return to the topic, my aeroplane flies me at genteel speeds befitting our combined age. This thread reminds me of another defining aviator/ pilot. Excellent stuff.
A glorious excuse for aering our opinions.....
