HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- The one and only Santa Claus paid a visit to 419th Fighter Wing Airmen and their families here today. Claus left his reindeer and sleigh at the North Pole and arrived in style in an F-16 aircraft, flying Mach 2 -- nearly 1,200 miles per hour and twice the speed of sound -- to reach Utah in record time. Claus delivered Christmas presents to nearly 300 children of wing reservists and then treated them to cookies, a bounce house, and holiday crafts.
