================================Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation
Administration, and the FAA examiner arrived last week for the pre-Christmas
flight check.
In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the
reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork was in
order. He knew they would examine all his equipment and truly put Santa's
flying skills to the test. The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He
checked the reindeer harnesses, the landing gear, and even Rudolph's nose.
He painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance calculations for sled's
enormous payload. Finally, they were ready for the check ride.
Santa got in and fastened his seat belt and shoulder harness and checked the
compass. Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a
shotgun. What's that for!?" asked Santa incredulously. The examiner winked
and said, "I'm not supposed to tell you this ahead of time," as he leaned
over to whisper in Santa's ear, "but you're gonna lose an engine on
takeoff."
