Flightradar24 callsign R3DN053

[festivetinseling]

He's on his way!

Yay

Hurrah!

DD is poorly in bed, but I'm hoping she will be up and about soon, so we can track him.

He's gone quite a way already, should be around Beijing soon.

Thank you. DS and I were just reminiscing about NORAD - we did it once and they wouldn't go to bed lol.
He will be thrilled (he's all grown up!)

Anyone else following?

Thanks so much for this. I'm stranded on the sofa ill feeling guilty we're not doing anything and I just showed my eldest this, he positively lit up and is so, so excited. Not sure how many Christmases of believing he has left too.

Ah, slight problem. Flight Radar has Santa over India currently, while NORAD has him between Australia anc Christmas Island.

Can't wait to have him visit! Thank you for this, my kids and I have just tracked his sleigh!

I learned this several years ago. Pick a tracker and stick with it. I think some have delayed signal to keep Father Christmas safe.

I thought this was about a flight that was struggling to land in these high winds!!!

That's the usual flight radar thread

He'd better watch out for the 2 planes near him

It's Oak, they're at a much lower altitude

It's something like quantum mechanics uncertainty principle - you can't accurately determine the position of a fast moving object in a high magical field. (Obviously I'm an expert on this)

Thanks for this, my 5 year old is thrilled!

There's also Santa's train, calling st fvery station on the UK network, on Realtime Trains

I have to say that I love the story about how NORAD started following the big man on Christmas Eve.

Sent this to a friend with a 4yo. She's messaged to say now she needs to scrape him off the ceiling😆
