Sky Polaris over North Pole!

Sky Polaris over North Pole!

90 degrees North! What a great achievement for Michel Angel Gordillo! I am sure that Michel can see Santa Claus’ workshop, reindeer’s, polar bears, penguins, and all the other things we associate with the north pole (I know there are no penguins at the north pole, but Santa Claus is real).

At about 22:50 z (01:50 Madrid time) the tracking shows that Michel crossed the Earth’s north pole and hopefully was able to complete the orbits for his sponsors. I know the tracking system shows that Michel flew off the map into outer space, but that is just because the map is flat, while the earth is a sphere and so tracking looks distorted. Outer space may be Michel’s next goal though…

Now the flight is all downhill to the south. First stop is Norway, then Germany, and back home!

What a bad moment for a failure on the tracking system (at 0012Z)

Nuestras mas sinceras felicitaciones Michel, has logrado lo que ninguno que no ha sido alguna vez piloto, realmente puede comprender en su verdadera magnitud. Estaran felices de recibirte pronto de vuelta en Madrid, y nosotros, de que lo hayas logrado.
