The final test flight of Santa’s sleigh has been extended several hours. Flight engineers are testing ground based tracking and communication systems under adverse weather conditions.
These are not critical tests. They are just trying to make sure Santa can communicate in storms that he might encounter later tonight.
We still anticipate the sleigh returning in plenty of time to get it ready for Santa to launch on time.
The world famous Tracking Santa Around the World live radio broadcast has now begun from the North Pole. It can be listened to right here on our website or on any official North Pole website.
The program is commercial-free and features the best in Christmas music coupled with North Pole Radio News reports. The broadcast originates in the studios of Kringle Radio at the North Pole and features reporters in various countries around the world. They even have a correspondent stationed here at Flight Command.
If you are tracking Santa for Santa, we strongly encourage you to follow along with news from North Pole Radio as part of this broadcast.
Flight Command has now cleared for all trackers, no matter where they are in the world, to check in. Please do so at SantaTrackers.net.
Santa at the time of this post is still 22 hours away from launching. We have plenty of time to check in and receive instructions from elf supervisors.
For all trackers looking to be helpful at this time the BEST reports that are most useful to flight command from all sectors are:
1. An updated weather report.
2. A roof report for as many houses near you as you can provide.
All of these reports and more can be found at SantaTrackers.net
The final test flight of Santa’s Sleigh is now officially scheduled to depart in about 12 hours. North Pole Flight Command has announced that veteran pilot Elf Ace McHenry will take command of the flight.
Being the final test flight pilot is a singular honor for elves who serve as part of the North Pole Air Force. It is generally recognized that the pilot chosen for this duty as distinguished themselves above others during the course of the year in helping to contribute to the cause of Santa.
To get the honor is to more or less win a spot in the Test Pilot Hall of Fame at the North Pole.
The honor is a long time coming for Commander McHenry, who has served in the North Pole Air Force for many years. He has long been considered an elite pilot, one of the very best that Santa has.
We will, as always, track the path of the final test flight of Santa’s sleigh when it launches from the North Pole.
