An Important Message From the North Pole
This annual notification was just sent from the boys up at North Pole Air Operations asking all RV’ers expecting Santa on Xmas Eve to please pay attention to the following guidelines in the interest of safety to the crew on duty tonight, and expediency of each delivery. Text to follow...
----------------------------------------snip-----------------------------------------------
From: North Pole Global Air Operations (NPGAO)
To: All RV’ers with scheduled sled delivery service starting Dec. 24th.
Subject:Schedule of aerial sled operations Xmas Eve
Date Starting: Dec 24, 2016 @ 6PM
Date Ending: Dec 25, 2016 @ 6AM
IMPORTANT:
Please lower all TV & Satellite antennas, and solar panels flat to the roof to give the sled a place to park and so the Reindeer won’t trip on things. If you need to keep your antennas extended, mark them with a red flashing marker with a 7 degree up angle to keep from bothering the neighbors. NO STROBES! It agitates the Reindeer and you will be bypassed. As mentioned, Solar panels should also be lowered to provide a reasonably flat landing surface. Contrary to popular belief, the entire weight of the sled and reindeer is less than 2lb/ sq.ft., so no damage will occur. Likewise, please lower all open vent covers. Santa has a CH751 key to get in when necessary.
Those that have roof parameter xmas lights on the RV are requested to leave them On over Xmas Eve for short final visual. RV roof landings are particularly tricky due to the random positioning of the rig, especially in the boondocking areas. Please be aware that there can be significant sled wash depending on approach, departure, and wind conditions in the area, so either retract or anchor all awnings. Santa wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and appreciates assistance in express deliveries tonight.
NEW for Christmas Eve 2016
Those piloting "Drones" are asked to land them for the night starting at sundown. Small Drones are extremely hard to see from back in the sled and will spook the Reindeer.
FLIGHT TRACKING IS AVAILABLE FROM THE FOLLOWING SITES:
NORAD
ALT Site 1
ALT Site 2
Happy Holidays,
