Title: And Now, Something completely different

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.

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.
