Didn't you hear? He had to switch to something else, 'cause the reindeer kept burning up from the air friction. |

Yes. Santa's sleigh is for sale on ASO! I sent a message asking whether
the red G-suit came with the sleigh, as an 8+1 reindeer powered sleigh has serious G-forces on take-off. The seller replied: Thank you for your interest in the sleigh. Since Santa is very busy this time of year, I'm helping him with the sale of his pre-owned sleigh. Excellent question. Mrs. Claus is the sole supplier of Santa's red, fur lined, soot resistant G-Suit with a built in auto heater. Due to Santa's ever-increasing waistline (too many cookies), Mrs. Claus is constantly making new suits for him. As every suit requires a tremendous amount of labor, she unfortunately would not be able to supply the sleigh buyer with one. She recommended checking with NASA for a similar version. Please let us know if you have any further questions and have a wonderful holiday season!

We have a guy here that has a 1500 pound thing he hangs from his
Jetranger each Christmas. It is Santa in his sleigh and a couple of reindeer. There's about a thousand lights being run from the generator bungied to the skids. He flies without any lights on the copter and the route is published in the paper on Dec 23 each year. His whole flight takes him a couple hours.

In NJ you can't land anywhere except and approved landing facility, which puts the kabosh on your plan for this state. And no water landings, right? Damian Delgaizo at Andover Flight Academy was planning to put floats on his Husky (amphibious, presumably). As I understood it, he would have to do the actual training across the state line in PA! all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com the blog www.danford.net |

She had to use lakes in PA only as she could not land on any open water other than designated seaplane bases like the one on the Hudson. HTH. z (Does Damian use any places to land other than approved landing facilities for his other program? He'd know enough farmers out there that he would if he could, and it might shed some light on the original statement above.) |

It's possible that these private runways were approved by some authority or other. One such could have been a farmer's field. The others were regularly used by their owners as runways, including a strip on a fairly steep hill. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com the blog www.danford.net |
