Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 When we were stationed on Okinawa AFRTS would begin broadcasting reports of a singe aircraft approaching our airspace from the region of the North Pole. Speculation was that it may have been a Soviet spy plane or possibly an aircraft leading an invasion. Further reports tracked it into our airspace and interceptors were dispatchfro Kadena AFB and AA missile sites were brought on alert. This went on until one of the pilots would get a visual of a sled and whole bunch of reindeer were sighted and they were ordered to escort Santa to Kadena. In the meantime whole herds of kids were having fits because "they're going to shoot down Santa Clause". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radar and "intercept" would be broadcast into the gym where we were all gathered, until the lead pilot would get close enough for a visual ID and radio in that it was Santa, whereupon the CO, Group Captain Stovell would order the intercept flight to escort the Sleigh to the base. Good memories of good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
