Today marks 50 days until Santa launches from the North Pole for his annual Christmas flight.

During most years this is a hectic milestone. But this year the design and test flights of Santa’s sleigh have gone so smoothly Flight Command has announced that test flights of Santa’s sleigh may end a little early this year.

This is expected to be the fastest sleigh on record. Flight analysts are nearly universal in their predictions of a historic flight for Santa this year.

What that means for believers around the world is still being debated. Is it possible the sleigh could be so fast that people worldwide will need to go to bed earlier this year?

Many believe so.

We really won’t know until Santa himself takes the reins when he launches the sleigh from the North Pole.

We will keep you posted.

Test flights resume over Sectors 4 and 5 this week with desert areas being a focus, for some reason. North Pole Flight Command says the nature of these flights is “classified” and will not reveal exactly where they are headed or why.

We have been informed however that test flights will be scheduled for later in November that focus on tracker training. More details of these events will be shared at SantaTrackers.net for qualified tracker elves.

As the North Pole gears up for Operation Merry Christmas it should be noted that the test flight crew and sleigh design teams will actually start winding down their efforts for the season. A modified long-range schedule of test flights in December reveal that most flight will be done around the 18th of December, at which time Santa’s sleigh will return to the North Pole for cosmetic finishing.

A final test flight of Santa’s sleigh is scheduled just hours before Santa actually launches for himself.

The elves and reindeer of the Santa’s sleigh test flight team will soon head north. They will be taking this weekend off to enjoy the Halloween festivities at the North Pole.

This movement will be visible on the Santa Tracker map at SantaTrackers.net for those tracker elves following along.

Santa’s sleigh has been in continual test flight mode since early June. Flight analysts at the North Pole are very excited with what they see so far. The early bets are on that Santa will set a new speed record this year.

We do not yet know the direction of Santa’s sleigh after Halloween is over. But we are hearing rumors it will be used in part for training new tracker elves. When we have more details we will share them with you.

The North Pole Navy is in the Pacific and performing test flights of Santa’s sleigh. This is a routine exercise designed to see how well Santa’s sleigh can work under the direction of the Navy and to practice take-offs and landings on Navy vessels.

“Not a lot of people know the North Pole even has a Navy,” said flight director, Elf Buck Sanchez. “And that is perfectly fine by Santa. But the truth is that the North Pole Navy plays a vital role in Operation Merry Christmas for Santa. There are thousands of sailor-elves and the Navy has a number of ships, boats, tugs and submarines that operate under secret orders.”

We do occasionally share news of the North Pole Navy via Flight Command. After all, they have to work together at Christmas in support of Santa. But most news about them is shared via SantaUpdate.com.
