Christmas Eve 2005

 

The role of "escort" plane, a truly unusual state of affairs for Santa, was flown by some of the best Elven aircrew he had available. It is a little known fact that Santa usually has several elves along on each flight, and while Santa takes most of the year off, these lil guys are always keeping their flight time up.
This year, they utilised a plane they had been keeping in storage for some time...and Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow. The speed and range abilities, as well as air-to-air refuelling capacity that the North Pole WorkShop added allows the Elves to keep an eye on Santa's highly visible six!
