Test Flights Transitioning to a New Sector

North Pole Flight Command today held a meeting to discuss the next few weeks of test flights for Santa’s sleigh. The test flights are transitioning to a new field of action and are in the process of heading east.

We also expect an announcement about a transition for the North Pole Navy. The fleet has been stationed in the Pacific for about 8 weeks.

It is an interesting time for the test flights. There is a lot of conflict going on in various war zones around the globe and North Pole Flight Command is trying to avoid them.

So far the tests have been uneventful and results are still good, at least as far as we have been told. The sleigh, which is based on last year’s record-breaking model, has yet to see a new version introduced.

With the early return of the reindeer some have speculated that the test flights of Santa’s sleigh might use teams from the general reindeer pool at the North Pole. Elf Victor, head of Reindeer Operations, squashed that rumor today and said that none of the reindeer at the North Pole are expected to be assigned test flight duty and they all will be pursuing customary training schedules as they do each year.

As we approach the 100-day countdown milestone to Santa’s launch it appears Santa’s new sleigh is right on track.

We will keep you posted.
