The Seahawks just won their third 10 am East Coast game this season. They are 4-0 on the road for the first time in 39 years.

Regardless of opponent, we used to mark down 10 am east coast games as loses in the past. Now they scratch a win out and it is doom and gloom. While this team may not be as great as their record (TBD), they did just win a game in a time zone that has been a real pain in their ass. Enjoy it for the next six days.

When you are in an F-16, does it make a/any difference what time zone you are in falcon?

Yes - When doing an AOS movement (shifting fighters around the world) we have to rest for 48 hours for every 5 time zones traveled. US to Spain (48 hours), Spain to Qatar (48 hours), Qatar to X (48 hours before first missions). Also, when F-16 pilots fly long missions they are given "go pills" to keep them awake and then "no go pills" to get them to sleep afterwards. Circadian rhythm is a huge factor and something we all take extremely seriously.
