Santa to Fly Into Santa Monica Airport on Vintage Plane

Kris Kringle will pilot a World War II bi-plane carrying lots of candy canes and spend Sunday afternoon at the Museum of Flying.

The public is invited to watch as Santa Claus lands a vintage World War II bi-plane Sunday at Santa Monica Airport.

Pilot Kris Kringle will wear a red flight suit as he pilots a Boeing Stearman with a US Navy paint scheme. He'll land at the airport, then taxi to the aircraft ramp across the street from the Museum of Flying.

His estimated time of arrival is 1:30 p.m. but is dependent on weather.
