Santa’s launch is 250 days away. Elves in North Pole Flight Command are actually off today, as it is a Sunday and it is Easter. But the occasion is being marked with a number of activities.

In fact, a debate has erupted in recent days over Santa’s sleigh. I’m told there will be some meetings this week with elves from Research and Development to re-evaluate the flight plan for test flights of Santa’s sleigh. They are presently on the calendar to begin around day #113 to launch. Some feel that is too late of a start for testing and that more time will be needed to make changes and corrections to the sleigh if testing goes poorly.

If there are changes made to the plan we will let you know.

Another issue of concern is Santa’s reindeer and when they will be returning to the North Pole. Some feel they need to be back earlier too.

Just 300 days remain now until Santa’s launch. North Pole Flight Command continues to work towards a successful flight again this year.

Santa’s sleigh will again be built from the ground up but it will utilize the same design as a year ago. As a result, test flights for Santa’s sleigh will be delayed until later in the year.

Flight Command has scouts in the field right now searching for good locations to set up regional tracking centers in each sector. There is no particular hurry for this project either. Right now, scouts are taking recommendations and looking at possible locations. Contracts are expected to be signed and locations finalized by Christmas in July.

Christmas in July is likewise an important time for Flight Command. While there are a number of fun recreational events, including the radio replay of Santa’s flight from last Christmas, it is also a big marker on the calendar for nearly every North Pole Department.

At flight command training will be taking place for sleigh flight controllers, test pilots and even reindeer during Christmas in July. Likewise, all equipment overhauls and testing is supposed to be complete.

For Tracker Elves worldwide, who gather online at SantaTrackers.net, the all new Elf University will be launched by then and trackers will be training heavily during Christmas in July.

Santa has yet to even see his newly designed sleigh. But in an unexpected announcement from North Pole Flight Command today it was revealed that the Big Guy himself will soon take the sleigh out for a test flight.

Santa’s sleigh has been a wonder in flight trials that have been ongoing since June. Flight analysts have been predicting that speed records would fall with this new design. There has been so much buzz about the new sleigh and its capabilities that Santa just can’t wait to give it a try.

Sometime over the next few days Santa is expected to take a late night spin when he can get away from the visiting he is doing with children around the world. Exactly when and where that would happen has not yet been disclosed.

We will keep you posted.
