Skyhawk Association's suggested "Plan Of the Day"
 |
 |
06:00 = Roll-over and go back to sleep
07:00 = Roll out of your rack and take a shower - please! Uniform of the Day is casual (must cover the "personal parts" of your body.)
08:00 = Muster at the coffee shop, consume your breakfast while reviewing the events planned for day so far.
11:00 = Report for duty at your favorite aviation shop, museum, or outdoor display. Contemplate what needs to be done to maintain your good standing with the local aviation buffs, and consider an attempt to remember it for future reference.
12:00 = Report to your favorite lunch establishment for coffee, sliders, and ice-cream.
13:00 = Gather again with others interested in aviation for a discussion surrounding the differences of various time-frames in aviation history (the good old days), the merits of various aircraft in various mission scenarios, and the death of the "Happy Hour" as you remember it.
16:00 = Happy Hour, where every attempt is made to resurrect happy hour as you remember it.
18:00 = Report to your resident sick-bay for an attempt to recover from "Happy Hour".
20:00 = Keep trying to recover.
22:00 = Give up on a recovery, and hit the rack.
22:00 to 06:00 = Dream of A-4 Skyhawks, and a OK3.
