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.

The North Pole Navy has deployed to the North Atlantic as part of the test flight plan for Santa’s sleigh.

The sleigh craft carrier Snowball is leading the three-ship convoy that will support flight operations. Led by Elf Captain Jane Dunphy the Snowball will in essence become a floating tracking center. It will support at least 8 sleighs and about 200 reindeer, as well as serving as a flight command center for Sectors 3 and 5.

The North Pole Navy is expected to deploy another sleigh craft carrier and support vessels in the Pacific the following week. That ship, dubbed Jingle Bell, is led by Elf Captain Denny Marshall. In addition to the capabilities listed above this ship also serves as a training center for professional tracker elves deployed by the North Pole each fall. That school for trackers will start training on June 22.

The North Pole Navy is little known by the world but it is an extensive fleet that provide Santa will many kinds of strategic support both before and during his annual flight. We may feature more news about the fleet in future reports.

As trackers worldwide begin preparations to Track Santa North Pole Flight Command is working today to complete synchronization with five regional tracking centers spread across the globe.

North Pole Flight Command has the world divided into roughly five different sectors:

– Sector 1 – Oceania, including South Pacific Nations, New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Rim
– Sector 2 – Asia and the Middle East
– Sector 3 – Europe and Africa
– Sector 4 – The Atlantic, Greenland and South America
– Sector 5 – Central and North America

The regional tracking centers are mostly remote and all are in secret, unmarked facilities. These are their general locations:

– Sector 1 – Christmas Island, Australia
– Sector 2 – Rudolph Island, Russia
– Sector 3 – Star, Scotland
– Sector 4 – La Paz, Bolivia
– Sector 5 – Antler, North Dakota, USA

The redundancy in tracking centers is necessary due to the possibility that power loss or other catastrophe at North Pole Flight Command. In that case, one of the other tracking centers would become the primary hub of news, information and coordination.
