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?

Saves one visit at least. |

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.

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

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.

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...

Then there is the low-tech RAF ASTRA version - note the drop in quality: https://www.flying-fox.net/Tracker
Some of these ASTRA-enlightened folks that call themselves ‘coders’ are so behind that even my ZX81 Basic programming skills look better than this! 10 PRINT “RAF ASTRA Sycophants are not coders…” 20 PRINT “…you need more than just an ASTRA bean bag!” 30 GOTO 10 > Run It doesn’t even correlate with the positions in the NORAD version! :ugh: |
Digression: it is Christmas after all.
Can I claim to be the first among this august/ December band to have been a computer programmer and operator? 1958. Ferranti Mercury "Meteor" at Dunstable, one of a batch of six, the first of which went to Joe Lyons Corner House empire for wages and stock purposes. The beast sat in a Faraday cage in a building like a Scout Hut, hot as buggery, lots of valves ............ The first team were trained at Manchester, then taught six youngsters in-house. We actually produced decent 24 hour isobaric charts for UK and NW Europe and Eastern Atlantic. And, no, I wasn't a bright star of programming. Happy Christmas if you have read this far. |
