Dec. 5, 2020 | 0:47
U.S. Marine Sgt. William Hinkle, an aerial observer with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Training Squadron 303, Marine Aircraft Group 39, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, waves to families while dressed as Santa Claus as he flies over a neighborhood outside of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, in a UH-1Y Venom helicopter, Dec. 5, 2020. Since efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have impacted holiday plans for many living in Southern California, HMLAT-303 wanted to bring Santa Claus to families living on base and the surrounding area to spread holiday cheer. Hinkle is a native of Parachute, Colorado. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Cpl. Stephen Beard)
