  Using a basic Challenger 604, Bombardier sent a specially gold-plated jet for Santa to use free of charge, in hopes of a future series of sales to other high profile clients. Initially, the Elf safety inspectors were unsure as to the viability of a gold plated plane, being as the runway at the North Pole had sunk due to icecap melting, and the replacement runway was noticably shorter. However, a series of tests revealed the plane would meet all requirements, and it became the latest aquisition for the North pole fleet. Given the latest name for Santas' delivery flights, SantaXpress, a highly successful flight is expected on dec 24th.

  The kits was the Revell Germany 1/144 scale Challenger 604, a nice little, and I mean LITTLE kit. Nothing weird or unusual was done, except to paint it Tamiya Gold and apply the custom, home-made decals.
