Are you crazy? My kids are already hyper enough! That last thing they need to know is that Santa is close.

Nevermind... I told the misses and was promptly scolded for not downloading it. Pretty cool app actually.

Re: S4nta Flight Number
I sent similar to my little Boy earlier Ron.
I got a text back 'Dad, we've got to have a chat'....
He is 26 though
Keep a eye out on BBC America for James May's Toy Stories.
Last nights 'Flight Club' was a corker.
They got a freeflight model glider to cross the English Channel........almost
Great program they even skweezzed some Baba O'Riley and I can see for miles in as well.

Re: S4nta Flight Number
I have to find it, but I located in one of the American Modeler mags a Santa with Rudolph plane. It's a canard like design using a Cox Babe Bee as a pusher. Santa is a profile body sitting in the sleigh while the floor of the sleigh is the airfoil wing sandwiched between the two sleigh sides. It uses 1/4" hardwood dowels as bridles to Rudy. I'mn sure arrowshafts would fit the bill much straighter, stronger, lighter, etc. I should've posted it earlier but certainly a project kids would be in awe over. Ken

Another good one is www.noradsanta.org/ It started after a local store placed an Ad with Santas phone number, that turned out to be the NORAD Missle Tracking Systems 'Red Phone". There should be a good story on their web site. My kids are a little old for this, but should be good fun.

Re: S4nta Flight Number
It reminds me of the ringmaster flying men series. I'd like to build one someday for this time of the year.
