It’s frightful outside but the brave test pilots who work for months on Santa’s sleigh are about to take to the skies for one final test flight. This is a Christmas eve tradition. We’ll cover that flight over the next several hours. It should come home in time for a good wash and wax before […]
You should hear the howling wind outside my window right now. We experience blizzards here at the North Pole all the time. But this one is a whopper.
