We are scheduled to fly

We got the notice from RPSC we will leave as scheduled. Reporting time is 0715. Which is a welcome change to past flights.
Hopefully the next entry will come from McTown.

Clothing issue

Today at 1 pm we had clothing issue. Quite a few things changed since last year. First, they have now the same 1 quart zip lock plastic bag for liquids rule as commercial flights. So, no toiletries in the Cary-On. That's a problem, if you pack that stuff in your checked bag and you Boomerang you wont get it back. But to the rescue comes the second change, the Boomerang Bag. That bag is for the toiletries and the change of clothing one usually carried in the Carry-On in case of a boomerang. And you will get it back if you boomerang. On the bright side, the clothing requirement for the flight changed. Slightly less stuff one has to carry. And the last change the food for the flight changed. Lets see how that works out.
