cz75ipsc Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Should've posted this before christmas but what the hey, it's still funny Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from Transport Canada (TC), and it was shortly before Christmas when the TC examiner arrived. 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. The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer harnesses, the landing gear, and Rudolf's nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance calculations for the sled's enormous payload. Finally, they were ready for the checkride. santa got in, fastened his seatbelt 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, but you're gonna lose an engine on takeoff." Just out of interest, is anyone else here working in the aviation business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
