Under the guidance of the chief engineer, cadets started working at 0730 building boxes for engine parts.  By 1400, the boxes were completed.  Today, the weather was great for the 1500 barbecue which was served in the hanger.  Cadets and crew ate outside on the flight deck listening to music and relaxing.  After the barbecue, cadets played basketball.  At 1900, open mike night commenced on the flight deck.  Cadets played the guitar and sung to the other cadets who enjoyed listening to the music.

Perfect weather.
