Shortly after Australian aviation authorities announced that Santa Claus was given clearance to bring his sleigh and team of reindeer into the nation's airspace, the fat, bearded man was spotted flying his sleigh within spitting distance of a commercial airliner. Watch this video provided by 9News Australia.
You can also track Santa's whereabouts using the NORAD Santa Tracker. It's a great incentive to get the kiddos to bed at a reasonable hour this evening.
Happy Holidays, from Flight Club.
