Been flying AHII for 2yrs plus a month..
Have yet to take part in the Christmas eve
Santa hunt.. Usually have family here, so those
obligations of a good host have prevented me
from doing so..

This year, the weather looks like it will postpone
our usual family gathering.. So It looks like I'll
be online that evening.. Heard a little about it,
Sounds like fun..

What is the starttime, and the general lowdown
on the festivities?...

Christmas Eve tradition.  HiTech makes it night in the MAs and flies as santa.

You can count on benig ejected  :)  Many customers are trying to show their kids Santa's sleigh in AH, and Santa doesn't take too kindly when someone greifs that.

I have no idea why somebody would kill Hitech when he is Santa.  The guy is just trying to have fun.  Leave Santa alone.

He goes to both LW arenas and flies a few sorties in each. For you that want to fly jets to get him beware that if you do kill him you get a boot with a 5 minute ban. You will lose your perks, and even if you don't shoot him down Santa flies very fast so most of his escorts are going to be in jets. Best bet is to find where he is at and climb in a fast prop plane. Pony, N jug, or Ta 152 do great for diving in on him. The sortie before I vulched him last year I was in a jet and there were so many enemies flying by him I don't even know which one got me.

i don't wanna shoot him down. i wanna record him, so i can show my neice when i go to visit my brother in jamuary.
 i told her that he flies in this game last year, but she didn't believe me.

Personally, I would not want to shoot Santa down and cant figure out why anyone else would either.  Does it give you some sense of pride to do that?   Or is the possibility of ruining some young kids dreams and hopes at witnessing the sight of Santa being shot down just too alluring to you.  It's one thing to be all bravado and puffy chested when you make a cartoon kill during normal times, but why would you do so at the possible expense of someone else's expense this one night, Christmas Eve?

It would be in poor taste and bad form in my opinion deserving little respect from the public if you do.  Getting booted and banned for five minutes is far too lenient in my book.  You should get banned for 24 hours and loose all your perked points accumulated.

I am inclined to agree Muttman.  I intend to let my daughter observe (via the bigscreen) and hopefully see dad flying in formation with Santa.  Also she is beginning to show an interest in Aces High, and I would hate to see her come to the conclusion that people who play it are mean jerks, who want to kill Santa Claus.

Just in case any of you miss Santa in the MA and want to show your kids the progress of Santa's route on Christmas Eve.  There is always the Norad website.  It's great!

Good luck this year Santa! :salute

I'll sign up for escort duty (figure there will be plenty to shoot at and satisfy my trigger-finger that come after Santa).  Would love to wing up with others doing the same, I'll take any ride that keeps up with him but would prefer a P-51 or P-38.
