Holiday Magic on the Ramp: Spreading Cheer at Apex Aero Center GPH, TRL & GOK
What an incredible time we had spreading holiday cheer at our Santa Fly-Ins this holiday season! The skies were merry, the runways festive, and the smiles absolutely unforgettable. Families gathered, cameras clicked, and Santa traded his sleigh for wings to make this season extra magical. Here’s a look at the joy-filled celebrations!
Terrell Municipal Airport (TRL) – Santa Arrives in Vintage Style
Our very first Santa Fly-In at Terrell Municipal Airport (TRL) was nothing short of spectacular! The community showed up in a big way, making this inaugural event a huge success. We were thrilled to partner with the Terrell Chamber of Commerce and the No. 1 British Flying Museum, who helped bring extra excitement and aviation history to the day. Families gathered to watch Santa arrive in style—led by a group of aircraft that looked just like his winged reindeer. The energy was electric, and the smiles said it all—TRL has officially started a new holiday tradition!
Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport (GOK) – A Community Holiday Highlight
At Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport (GOK), we wrapped up the weekend with a celebration that was nothing short of spectacular! Santa’s arrival was met with cheers and applause as families gathered for a day of holiday fun. This event was made possible thanks to amazing partners at the Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport and the Guthrie Public Library, which hosted its 7th Annual Cookie Contest, and other local organizations that came together to make the day special. Guests enjoyed pictures with Santa, hot chocolate, food trucks and plenty of festive cheer. We also proudly supported a community hygiene drive to help local families in need, thank you to everyone who donated!
Midwest National Air Center (GPH) – A Runway Wonderland
At GPH, the holiday spirit was in full throttle! Santa touched down in style, greeted by excited kids and parents ready for festive fun. The hangar was buzzing with laughter, hot cocoa, and plenty of photo ops with the big guy himself. We were also proud to team up with Meet the Need, Inc. to collect donations for local families—thank you to everyone who gave generously to make the season brighter for those in need!
