The aircraft were fastened to tiedowns with care, In hopes that come morning, they all would be there. The fuel trucks were nestled, all snug in their spots, With gusts from two-forty at 39 knots. I slumped at the fuel desk, now finally caught up, And settled down comfortably, resting my butt. When the radio lit up with noise and with chatter, I turned up the scanner to see what was the matter. A voice clearly heard over static and snow, Called for clearance to land at the airport below. He barked his transmission so lively and quick, I'd have sworn that the call sign he used was "St. Nick". I ran to the panel to turn up the lights, The better to welcome this magical flight. He called his position, no room for denial, "St. Nicholas One, turnin' left onto final." And what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a Rutan-built sleigh, with eight Rotax Reindeer! With vectors to final, down the glideslope he came, As he passed all fixes, he called them by name: "Now Ringo! Now Tolga! Now Trini and Bacun! On Comet! On Cupid!" What pills was he takin'? While controllers were sittin', and scratchin' their head, They phoned to my office, and I heard it with dread, The message they left was both urgent and dour: "When Santa pulls in, have him please call the tower." He landed like silk, with the sled runners sparking, Then I heard "Left at Charlie," and "Taxi to parking." He slowed to a taxi, turned off of three-oh And stopped on the ramp with a "Ho, ho-ho-ho..." He stepped out of the sleigh, but before he could talk, I ran out to meet him with my best set of chocks. His red helmet and goggles were covered with frost And his beard was all blackened from Reindeer exhaust. His breath smelled like peppermint, gone slightly stale, And he puffed on a pipe, but he didn't inhale. His cheeks were all rosy and jiggled like jelly, His boots were as black as a cropduster's belly. He was chubby and plump, in his suit of bright red, And he asked me to "fill it, with hundred low-lead." He came dashing in from the snow-covered pump, I knew he was anxious for drainin' the sump. I spoke not a word, but went straight to my work, And I filled up the sleigh, but I spilled like a jerk. He came out of the restroom, and sighed in relief, Then he picked up a phone for a Flight Service brief. And I thought as he silently scribed in his log, These reindeer could land in an eighth-mile fog. He completed his pre-flight, from the front to the rear, Then he put on his headset, and I heard him yell, "Clear!" And laying a finger on his push-to-talk, He called up the tower for clearance and squawk. "Take taxiway Charlie, the southbound direction, Turn right three-two-zero at pilot's discretion" He sped down the runway, the best of the best, "Your traffic's a Grumman, inbound from the west." Then I heard him proclaim, as he climbed thru the night, "Merry Christmas to all! I have traffic in sight."

When "The BIG One" (earthquake to you "Easterners") hits in California, the state is of California is not going to slide into the Pacific - everything east of the Sierras are going to slide into the Atlantic. We are going to be an island out here, but don't worry, I'll try and call you to give you all enough time to get the Kolb into the air. Carry extra fuel on board. Fly west. If the big one hits on the 25th, look out for UFO with one red stobe mounted on the nose cone of the leading tractor mounted power unit. FAA is looking for him about the improper lighting and "other matters". If you see him in flight tell him he doesn't have to worry though because they said they are from the FAA and they are here to "help" him. Merry Ho Ho to all!

Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday season. Speaking of acquiring new Kolbs, Jeremy Casey was kind enough to oblige me with a new Mark III kit at the quick build stage. He has really done some innovative things to it, especially in the seat and wing tip area. Plan on going and picking up this coming weekend. Looking forward to getting to work on it even though it may be a while. Still have to finish up painting a Twinstar Mark II and then start remodeling the house when the weather will allow (It has changed from one extreme to the other this year). Then will have to decide if I will keep the Twinstar or the Firestar II while I finish up the Mark III.

You should be humble, and respectable, because anything he tells you about a KOLB is the rule to live by, if you want yours to do act advertised..

Now I can extend my winter flying here in virginia. Flew it for the first time this week, it's like a new airplane. the sound sure is different and it's weird to be in out of the wind. Kind of more like flying in a spam can but it sure is neat. The heat is awsom. It snowed today, hope to go flying off the snow on Xmas day for a first. Dry and warm. Merry Xmas.
