I can't say I ever came across 2400Z in aviation, but from reading military stuff, 0000 hours and 2400 hours are the exact same moment in time and which gets used is determined by context. I'd say "my shift ends August 29 at 2400 hours, and Joe's starts August 30 at 0000 hours" and it's the exact same moment in time (assuming UTC, zulu, or the same time zone). -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
