Just thought I'd bring this to the fore since it is the season. Anybody have any new Christmas related aviation images, cartoons, or what not?

Merry Christmas to all. I sure hope that Phoenix doesn't track or Santa has some fancy evasion tricks up his sleeve.

Rudolph extinguish your nose! All reindeer deploy organic thermal decoys, make top speed and conduct evasive maneuvering! Bringing new meaning to the phrase..."Sh*t-n-Git!"

Merry Christmas everyone!
