    Students and educators from Chiniak School wave to Santa while he flies with a Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak aircrew aboard an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter, Dec. 10, 2020.

    Santa to the Villages has been part of Base Kodiak’s holiday tradition since 1974 when a Coast Guard pilot noticed the children in Kodiak’s remote villages had limited opportunities to interact with Santa and receive gifts.
