Airservices tracks Santa

Post by matthewn1983 » Sat Dec 22, 2018 2:57 pm

Santa has lodged his flight plan!

Airservices has allocated Santa the call sign of ‘SLEIGH RIDER ONE’ and has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) to warn all other aircraft flying on Christmas Eve to keep clear of Santa as he delivers presents to all the boys and girls.

If Santa starts at the International Date Line and works his way west, that would give him 24 hours plus say an extra 6 hours of darkness (he can't really deliver much before midnight) to circumnavigate the globe.

That means he will be flying solo, with no co-pilot, for roughly 30 continuous hours without a break (loading and unloading obviously doesn't count toward down-time)...

It's a wonder his commercial licence hasn't been revoked already!

Happy Holidays!
