From a post of the same name I put up three years ago (hi-res versions of the pics are but a click away):
The folks (all volunteers) in the NORAD "Track Santa" boiler room, last year (2006).
Santa arrives via F-15
Santa arrives in yet another F-15
Santa's Own F-16?
Santa in his A-10
Santa arriving via C-130
One  wonders how the ol' guy manages to stay qualified in all these various  airframes not to mention passing his annual flight physical.  But then  again, there's probably a lil bit of Santa Magic at play here...and he  does have the requisite flight experience.  You can't disregard the  thousands upon thousands of multi-engine hours he has in his log book,  eh?

I love the Santa and planes pics. Great color contrasts!
ReplyDeleteOurs is an F-16D at Santa's disposal.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure mastering the BUFF (B-52) was a piece of cake for Santa after handling the sleigh and 8 raindeer for so long!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Buck!
