Santa flies into Beaufort to greet kids at airport

While Rudolph and the rest of the reindeer were resting up in preparation for Christmas Eve, Santa asked pilots Jerry Hyde and Will Tucker to fly him into Beaufort on Sunday, Dec. 16, to meet some of his eager fans. 

The big guy took a break from making his naughty and nice lists to zip into the Beaufort Airport for a meet and greet with neighborhood children. Kids were able to take photos with Santa, inspect his bag of toys, and present him with cookies. 

The Beaufort Aviation Association thanked the pilots, as well as Chuck Beach, Jean Sulc, Frieder Kemman, Scott Sanders, Bruce Harmer and Stephen Murray for their efforts and donations to help make the event a possibility.
