Title: Santa Claus and the FAA
Post by: Lab Rat 3947 on December 23, 2014, 09:34:15 AM

Santa Claus and the FAA

Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA examiner arrived on the appointed day for a pre-Christmas flight check.  Santa got out his logbook and made sure he had all his paperwork in order. The examiner walked slowly around the sled, consulting a checklist on a clipboard. He looked closely at the reindeer harnesses, the landing gear, and Rudolph's nose. He carefully reviewed Santa's weight and balance calculations for the sled's huge payload. Finally, they were ready for the checkride.

Santa climbed aboard, secured his seatbelt and shoulder harness, and checked the compass. Then the examiner hopped up on to the sled. Santa started in surprise, for the examiner was carrying a shotgun.

"What's THAT for?" Santa asked incredulously.

The examiner glanced over his shoulder to make sure no-one else was listening, then winked at Santa and said,
"I'm not supposed to tell you this... but you're going to lose an engine on takeoff."


Merry Christmas  :cheers:
