On the other hand, the following link suggests that US aircraft still measure load in pounds: www-ext.tinker.af.mil/tild/to/11b50.pdf
I have examined Terry's reference. My impression is that USAF aircrafts are built by constructors that use only inch-pound. But the USAF uses metric for all functions that require coordination with its NATO allies. The situation reminds me of the sad history of the Mars Climate Orbiter.
