Santa Will Fly Over Region Beginning On Friday Night

Santa and his reindeer will fly over Spokane and North Idaho on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

In keeping with the spirit of Christmas, Tidyman’s has created a Santa Claus in a sleigh along with two reindeer.

A grid with a series of 1,000 lights hangs from a helicopter, which flies over several locations from Spokane to Coeur d’Alene.

The system of lights is hung on a cable below the helicopter, which is virtually invisible to the eye because of the bright lights of the grid.

Here are the approximate times and locations the Santa flight might be visible. Weather permitting, viewers within a quarter-mile should easily be able to see the Santa flight.
