Santa and the FAA

[TeaSea]

[FONT=&quot]Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Federal Aviation Administration, and it was shortly before[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Christmas when the FAA examiner arrived.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]bathe all the reindeer. Santa got out his logbook and made [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]sure all his paperwork was in order.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]the reindeer harnesses, the landing gear, and Rudolph's nose. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]He painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]calculations for the sled's enormous payload.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Finally, they were ready for the check ride. Santa got in[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and fastened his seat belt and shoulder harness, and checked [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]the compass.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]shotgun. "What's that for?" asked Santa incredulously.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The examiner winked and said, "I'm not supposed to tell[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]you this, but you're gonna lose an engine on takeoff."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Merry Christmas everyone!
