The tracker map at SantaTrackers.net has been re-activated.
Starting Monday, July 1st, tracking of test flights of Santa’s sleigh “go global” according to Elf Buck Sanchez, Director of Flight Operations at North Pole Flight Command.
Flight Command has been pretty tight lipped about the exact schedule in the days or weeks ahead. However, I’m told the first week will be dedicated to “speed trials”.
Speed trials are a test of the high end speed of the sleigh. The sleighs doing these flights will be empty. The test is to push the sleigh as fast as it can go and to see how it handles.
They want to do these tests in fairly stable weather. So they will be running west to east, just north of the equator. Those flights start Monday July 1st.
Of course, weather forecasts are being watched and those plans could change.
The sleigh will be taking a more conventional course of test flights beginning next week. We are awaiting word of which sector they plan to fly in.
We will keep you posted.
Thank you, Elf Harold! I was waiting for this time! I was surprised the test flights today are close to my country! So exciting to see them! It’s rainy season here, and we have windy and heavy rain these days around my region. So please fly safe! I wish I could see them, but the sky has thick clouds now. XD
