7 a.m. Tuesday.

I've taken a lot of trans-Pacific flights in my lifetime. Typically, they leave Tokyo or Osaka around 6 p.m. and arrive in our west coast gateways (LA, San Francisco or Seattle) at around 10 a.m. on the same day. If you take one of these flights in the summer, you are actually flying into the rising sun for much of the trip.

Pearl Harbor was attacked on Monday, December 8 Tokyo time, I think around 3 a.m., but about 7 a.m., December 7 in Hawaii.

For real International Dateline fun, try reading accounts of the Battle of Midway.
