they refer to a woodworking tool rather than to an aircraft
Better get used to it BEagle. The word, usually preceded by an apostrophe, has been in use since the earliest days of heavy than air flight. Unless preceded by the apostrophe, the word in the days of old, meant "wing". Remember when you used to be a gay chap? Not any more though. Meanings change, and not necessarily for the better.
