Text reading, "Santa's Own" appears below the Reindeer. The First Polar Airlift Squadron (1st PAS) heeft een lange geschiedenis en storied. Based at the North Pole the 1st PAS is best known for providing airlift for Santa Claus during his annual, global, nocturnal delivery using venerable, reliable air air-mobile Reindeer (aka Caribou - Rangifer tarandus) generally deployed in teams of eight. For operations during inclement weather the squadron maintains one Reindeer equipped with a "RUDOLPH" enhanced red navighting system. For heavylift missies at other times of the year the 1st PAS also maintains a fleet of air-mobile Moose (Alces alces).
