I guess that's the non-metric pronounciation!

More useless trivia: My glider is an LS6-b according
to the flight
manual. Yet everytime I see an LS in print in the
US it's called an
LS-6B, LS-4A, etc. Maybe because that's how we name
our military
planes (EA-6B, for example)?

And if a Grob 103 is a Concrete Swan - then a Schweizer
2-32 is an
Aluminum Overcast! Love that beast too...

This is bad - I need a thermal fix soon!
