Flying Santa

By General Aviation News Staff · December 22, 2016 ·

One of our favorite photographers, Annemarie Bain, sent in these photos, snapped during a “Flying Santa” event, where William Clifford’s Bruner Winkle Bird flies over the Fire Island Lighthouse and drops cookies to the crowd below.

“I was the photographer in a group of four Stearmans that flew over as well,” she noted.
