Defensed dollars, my little Ebenezer? Nah.
“NORAD Tracks Santa relies on corporate sponsorship, and is financed by neither American nor Canadian taxpayers.”
Chances are real C-18’s aren’t deployed for this specific purpose, but please don’t let on to Lt.-Col. McLeod’s tykes, eh.

1939 is when Rudolph came out.
Ah, now we find out the _real_ reason why all of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names...

It’s called “GD IPad isn’t responding to my touches” - no feedback that I pressed anything after I typed. Seems it may be showing some problems the last few days.

Isn’t that cool? Why did we never hear that even when Wards was still around?

You serious Clark?

Didn’t you all know that Obama promised to have Santa Claus shot down over Canada, so the USA and Canada would go to war. Seems Obama does not want any competition from someone whom gives away free stuff!

“how many “free Obamaphones” can it carry?”
Classified. However, Fox News estimates between 400 and 500 thousand phones or the number of obama votes exceeding 100% in Philadelphia.

Yeah. Philadelphia’s been “transformed” from the cracked liberty bell to crack cocaine.
To: publius911
I am absolutely certain that the “Santa Claus escort mission” is part of ongoing training/readiness missions. It is a Christmas press release attached to normal RCAF flight activities designed to show the RCAF and NORAD in a positive light.

This is a tradition that has been going on for years. I have been a “santa tracker” before and it is a blast, answering phone calls from around the world on where Santa is at that precise moment. The competition to get to volunteer to answer the phones is stiff. Have your kids call 1-877-HI-NORAD to talk with a Santa tracker.

The grandkids and I enjoy this every year. I love the way the pilots play right along and get so involved. The kids believe it and get so excited.
Now, if Santa could only bring our air crews a new ride. Super Hornets maybe?
