No he's real , he does the Coca Cola advert every year!!!!
Incidently did you realise that the reason Santa wears red is that Coke were the first people to really depict him to a mass audience and they dressed him in their corporate colours?

Thank god about santa, you had me worried  :D

Back OT, the front wheels of the plane change the direction they're pointing from right to left around the 51s mark.

hmm, an aeroplane weighs about 400 tonnes.  Front gear in a pick up, dont think so.

Well acted though.

There was a programme on last week about plane landings, the first one, very similar (without the truck)
