Test Flight Goes Down in the Pacific

, , ,

A test flight of Santa’s sleigh has crashed in the waters of the South Pacific.

Details are sketchy at this time but initial reports from the SS Jinglebell are good in that the sleigh pilot and reindeer involved in the flight are okay and have been rescued.

North Pole Flight Command has grounded the entire fleet of test sleighs while an investigation is conducted.

The SS Jinglebell, the SS Mistletoe and the SS Frosty were all within 200 miles of the sleigh crash and all were involved in search and rescue operations. 9 of the remaining test flight sleighs have landed safely on the SS Mistletoe and 2 are on the SS Frosty.

This is a developing situation. We will keep you posted.

There is no word yet on when the test flight schedule will resume.

150 Days Until Santa’s Launch

, ,

Test flights of Santa’s sleigh have started as the 150 day milestone to Santa’s launch is observed.

12 sleighs have taken to the skies of South America, also known at North Pole Flight Command as Sector 4.

On the ground, the regional tracking center located in Milagro, Ecuador has been active and is now controlling those flights. It is very early in the process and engineers from there inform us that for the next several days the sleighs will be flying in “easy mode” – which translates to moderate speeds and altitude.

It is expected they will be in Sector 4 through at least the first part of next week.

North Pole Flight Command is hopeful that a flight schedule for the next month or so can be announced by the end of this week.

Tracking of the test flights of Santa’s sleigh can be done at SantaTrackers.net.

Africa Gets Their First Regional HQ

, ,

North Pole Flight Command announces a historic first for Sector 3, which covers the continents of Africa and Europe. This year’s regional headquarters will be located in Africa for the first time. Bethlehem, South Africa was chosen for it’s temperate climate, it’s central location within Sector 3, and for it’s available amenities useful in the support of Santa’s flight.

Elf Rolf and team are there rushing to get the facility open and ready to track test flights of Santa’s sleigh. It is winter there now and it is expected to see a lot of action early in the test flight process because of that.

Bethlehem is named after the other city of the same name, located in Palestine, which also hosts a regional tracking center, as announced last week by Flight Command. It is a historic first in many ways for Santa’s flight.

Bethlehem in South Africa, while not a remote location, is no large city, having just 25,000 estimated inhabitants. The name Bethlehem means “House of Bread”.

We will provide more details of this location once we receive a report from Elf Rolf.

, ,

Flight Director Elf Buck Sanchez announced today that test flights of Santa’s Sleigh will begin on Monday, July 26th.

Flights will begin in Sector 4, which has had their Regional Tracking Center live for several months now and is the team best prepared to track the test flights. We are told that flights very close to the regional HQ in Milagro, Ecuador are expected, with flight expanding further over South America in the next several days.

After about a week it is expected that flights will shift to over Sector 1, specifically over the countries of Australia and New Zealand.

We will keep you posted on the progress of the flights and where future flights will be scheduled.

It is not known at this time if the tracking map will yet be made available online. We will keep you posted.
