Landing Zone Update

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Flight Command does not feel like they have a good handle on landing zones set up for Santa in our sector.

My feedback to them is that I’m not sure how many of our trackers have a landing zone set up. It’s not a requirement.

But, if you DO have a landing zone you want Santa to use at your house or in your neighborhood, please send in a landing zone report as soon as you can with information that will be useful for Santa.

Flight Command did remind me that it is OKAY for trackers to use video or cameras in their landing zones for when Santa arrives. They ask if you do capture Santa landing or taking off that you share those images or videos with Flight Command for their records.

Thanks, elves!

About this Elf: Elf Rolf Janssen Verified Elf Santa's Council Member Sector 3 North Pole Elf Elf Supervisor

Elf Rolf is a native of Austria. As a young man he moved to Russia and was a refugee of that country in 1915 when he found his way to Santa’s employ. Skilled in carpentry, Rolf was given duties in Santa’s workshop where he worked for many years. Charged with building the first airplane Santa ever flew in 1927 — thanks to his wood working skills — Elf Rolf was transferred to the Research and Development Department where he served for many years as a sleigh designer and eventually as a flight test pilot.

Rolf took a departure from that work in the mid-1960s when he pursued a degree in computer science, a pioneering field for the North Pole. He returned in 1968 and for years served in data processing before being transferred to the North Pole Tracking and Flight Command Center as an IT specialist. He was instrumental in helping Santa to set up a network of satellites that have become the backbone of North Pole information systems to this day.

I know the perfect landing zone in my hometown, its located downtow in the park, big open field and plenty of room for the reindeers to start and land.
