I have talk to Flight Command about that and they said the development of <a href=\"https:\/\/santatrackers.net\/x\/2026\/07\/20\/the-real-big-deal-of-what-santa-said\/\">sleigh<\/a> is a higher priority than training our sleigh flight controllers this year, so I don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll see the test flights back in our region this year. <\/p>\n<p>Nothing I can do about that. <\/p>\n<p>There is some talk about expanding the North Pole Navy in the Pacific. The vast areas of open ocean make this a possibility especially if this active weather continues into December. I will keep you posted if I hear more about this. <\/p>\n<p>In terms of reports, aside from what Crash said the other day, I am only concerned with active weather reports coming in from your local area about twice a week. We might dial it in to something more specific in December, but I will wait on instruction from Flight Command for that. <\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re doing a great job!
