Vixen Volunteers for Test Flight Duty
Early this morning Vixen showed up at the flagship of the North Pole Navy in the Atlantic and, according to the ship’s commander, she “reported for duty”.
If you recall, Vixen recently left the North Pole to train in Norway in advance of the Reindeer Games, separating herself from all the other reindeer in training. Many have wondered why she did this.
But clearly Vixen and her trainer and handlers have been following the news. Out of concern for Santa’s sleigh, Elf Hazel (Vixen’s trainer) says that Vixen wanted to help so she reported for duty.
Elf Victor, head elf of Reindeer Operations, says that while sometimes the test flights can be rigorous there is nothing inherently dangerous for Vixen or any of the other reindeer working on that team.
Elf Roger Star, Director of North Pole Flight Command, said Vixen or any other reindeer are free to volunteer for duty on the test flight team. “These reindeer are elves,” Elf Roger said. “They love to serve Santa first and if Vixen thinks this is going to help nobody is going to stop her.”
The Annual Reindeer Games are just a few weeks away and nobody knows for certain whether or not Vixen will participate. She missed last year due to an injury.

I think vixen and Rudolph should lead the sleigh team and if santa needs my help I be his head elf for him as a navigation pilot
Thank you, Elf Harold! How much Vixen is so great. I hope the sleigh is going well. She always does her best. She also has experience, so she can motivate them and give them her opinion. I hope the rest of the flights are going well and the test pilots and reindeer could work well!!
I’m looking forward to hearing the next update! And they can have a break too! Merry Christmas!
