The Messenger’s 12 Days of Christmas is off to a flying start with the decorated fighter plane on display at the Iowa Air National Guard 133rd Test Squadron headquarters just north of Fort Dodge. Santa is at the controls and red lights in the back give him plenty of power should he need the craft on Christmas Eve. If you would like to nominate a display please call The Messenger at 576-2141, ext. 476, or e-mail hmadsen@messengernews.net.
