Greetings to all the Freepers out there in Freeper Canteenland this great weekend before Christmas. It's time for the Friday Flyby and this weekend we will have pictures of the jolly old elf and aircraft. A word of caution as some of the pics might upset little kids who don't get the joke. Now I wouldn't want anything to happen to good ol Santy but the airspace is crowded at times and 8 tiny reindeer do not always mix well with high performanc jet aircraft:-)

I have been able to round up some new Santa pics to go weith the ones from previous years so lets get on with the pictures, eh!!!

I am not sure what to think about this picture, maybe the sleigh was down for the 1,000,000 hour inspection.

It's bad enough that Santa had to borrow a Hog from the USAF but you would have thought they could have rounded up a Hummer or even an old time jeep for the elf, but he doesn't look upset, I guess it beats beats walking.

Even the US Navy gets into the act, here is Santa before the next picture was taken.

Here is one example of Santa and Hi Performance Jets, hmmmmm...

Santa even made the rounds back in Vietnam, here is the caption for the next picture.
"Nhon Cho, South Vietnam, December 21, 1968: Dispensing with the normal sleigh, Santa Claus taxis along the airstrip in an artistically-modified C7 Caribou cargo plane as he arrives to bring gifts to Detachment 35, B Company, 5th Special Forces Group. The Air Force's 483rd Tactical Aircraft Wing at Cam Ranh Bay decorated seven of the planes for use in Christmas visits to the troops in the field. James Linn ©Stars and Stripes

A little reindeer humor,very little humor, in the next pic :-)

And we close out tonights flyby with this bit of whimsy...

Y'all take care out there, stay safe and we will be back tomorrow with more Santa pics for the Saturday Sortie

Regards
