Whelp, I'm officially working on Christmas.

Worked today in the very early AM to relieve the midnight controllers. Noticed a very small bundle of flight progress strips set aside and upon further inspection it was Santa's flight plan from the mid shift. Someone at the center had entered it in the NAS, then re entered it when they accidentally first filed it west to east (Santa obviously has to travel west to stay in the wee hours). All the reindeer were named in the remarks section. If you're wondering, the normal cruise height of a reindeer is 5,000 feet, the sleigh despite hauling toys for all the girls and boys is not a heavy and Rudolph was chosen to guide the sleigh in IMC because he alone is /Q.
 
I did fly last night. 3 flights. 10 legs. (= 10 approaches) :eek2:
