Does anyone recall a CAA Christmas card from around 1990 that featured a cartoon of Santa in his sleigh seated next to a uniformed examiner holding a shotgun.
The caption read more or less, "And shortly after departure I will fail one of the power units..."
I wonder if it was by figment?
Anyone able to send me a scan or other copy?

There was a similar cartoon with an FAA checker and the lead reindeer saying "Mother!"

Any pilot with check and training experience will see it has been captured perfectly. :ok:
