    The 144th Airlift Squadron’s favorite passenger, Santa Claus, gazes out the window of a 176th Wing C-17 Globemaster III aircraft on his way to deliver tidings of good cheer to the children of Scammon Bay, Alaska, during Operation Santa Claus Nov. 16, 2022. Operation Santa Claus is the AKNG’s yearly community relations and support program that provides gifts to children in remote communities across the state. After landing in Bethel, Santa, Mrs. Claus, and dozens of helper elves transferred to two Alaska Army National Guard Black Hawk helicopters and delivered 1,780 pounds of gifts, backpacks, hygiene supplies, and books to 325 children in Scammon Bay.
