    Stargate and NORAD

    http://www.gazette.com/articles/nora..._cheyenne.html

    NORAD has stirred imagination of filmmakers, children
    May 10, 2008 - 3:10PM

    During its 50 years, NORAD has captured the imagination of filmmakers and starry-eyed children.

    One phone call in 1955 remade a top secret national security mission into a whimsical vigil for travels of a jolly old soul with the power of flight.

    Since a department store's "Santa hot line" misprinted phone number appeared in the local newspaper, NORAD's Santa tracking Web site has grown to be one of the most visited on the planet.

    Last year, it had 8 million visitors and 28 million views from 212 countries and territories. A thousand volunteers answered 94,000 calls.

    NORAD also is the stuff that sci-fi is made of. The "Stargate" television series sets the Stargate Command beneath NORAD and featured at least three Air Force chiefs of staff.

      Yeah... that must be a misprint. I'm pretty sure only Generals Ryan & Jumper ever appeared on the show.
