Roger Messerly of Fort Dodge, IA, looked up to find Santa Claus flying his paramotor. After a quick display of milk and cookies, Roger was able to get his machine back. Must have been a warm-up flight and, no doubt, Santa’s gone feed the deer nothing but the best synthetic this year.

Santa was out for this practice run on “Black Friday” and reported a fun practice flight, with kids a waving. He also commented “you haven’t lived until you’ve pulled off a no-wind forward in a full blown santa suit on a snowy field.”

Apparently the newspaper thought it was pretty cool, too!
