GREEN — Santa Claus arrived at the MAPS Air Museum Dec. 2, but no reindeer were spotted. Instead, he and Mrs. Claus arrived in a Cessna at the aviation museum adjacent to the Akron-Canton Airport, as shown at right bottom.

Among the children in attendance was Canton resident McKayla Medal, 3, who is pictured at left as she waits for Santa as he waves to the crowd.

Later, Santa settled into a chair next to Mrs. Claus and listened to the wishes of youngsters like Luke Barnhardt, 3, and Brady Barnhardt, 6, of West Akron, who are shown at right top, from left.

The Santa Fly-In is an annual event coordinated by the Women With Wings Chapter of International 99.
