On his way!
 

Just seen this on FR24 ...guess he's getting ready! :)

31kts @ 38,000ft at that latitude in an open cockpit! No wonder he gets through so much sherry and so many mince pies!

I wonder if he will visit Putin, as he has been a naughty naughty boy this year.

NORAD are gearing up as usual....... Official NORAD Tracks Santa (noradsanta.org)

31 kts? Those reindeer are fit! Have they been in training for 362 days?

Eight engines, some gas efflux assisted. Can probably shut down two at a time.

Well, if he's been a naughty boy, then probably not.
Saves one visit at least.

Brilliant!

Great. Now I've got this mental image of "someone" telling Putin that he's been very naughty.

My girlfriend's fit

not sure about reindeer . . . but to each his own :p

Somehow I think he knows he's been naughty. Now if someone said he was on nice list.

Better check the Pilot's Notes for that one: https://www.pprune.org/aviation-hist...l#post11159805

Does Santa trigger TCAS?

I hope it's airworthy and has an up to date safety case..... :rolleyes:

At least there is somebody current in grid navigation.

No - otherwise he'd let everyone know of his presents on radar...........

ha ha nicely done, downsizer! :)

You better, watch out, you better beware...
 

If this leaked draft document is real, some of you may be ending up on the naughty list...
