A Christmas Story...with a Air Force twist

[Agitated88]

I know we have a few military pilots on the site and BOX always enjoys a good chuckle...

Santa Claus, like all aircrew members, gets regular checkrides, and it was shortly before Christmas when the evaluator arrived. In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all of his pubs were 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 and 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 going to lose an engine on takeoff."

Merry Christmas EVERYONE!!!!!!
