I bring this up every year for my nieces: 6, 4 and 2 on Xmas eve. They love it and so do their parents when it comes to bedtime for the girls.

Previous Years' "flyovers" included Kuwait, delivering presents to soldiers overseas, a carrier landing on the U.S.S Kitty Hawk and always a Canadian Forces or USAF fighter escort over hairier parts of the world.

This even gets an old curmudgeon like me exited about Xmas.

"And Saint Attila raised the Holy Hand Grenade up on high saying, "Oh Lord, Bless us this Holy Hand Grenade, and with it smash our enemies to tiny bits. And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs, and stoats, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and lima bean-"

" Skip a bit, brother."

"And then the Lord spake, saying: "First, shalt thou take out the holy pin. Then shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. "Three" shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three. "Four" shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two, execpting that thou then goest on to three. Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade to-wards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuffit. Amen."

Armaments Chapter One, verses nine through twenty-seven:

We still do that as a comm excercise? I recall doing it a couple times back in the mid-90s. Best I remember CAP nets passed off to each other from north to south all over the place, same thing on MARS & some other crap, but it's been a long time.

WIWAC in the 80's I had an old CAP owned Heathkit 18 HF (Hotwater-18) at my house as the squadron Cadet comms officer.  I participated in the CAP Santa tracking many times reporting his position over southwest Iowa.
