Watch Soley the friendly Sasquatch arrive via helicopter to The Museum of Flight!

On December 21, Solely the friendly Sasquatch arrives via helicopter to headline The Museum of Flight's celebration of wintertime fun during the winter solstice, Solstice with Sasquatch.

The famous furry friend from the forests will be flown to the event by the Washington Department of Natural Resources in its UH-1H Huey helicopter. Generally known for their shyness, Sasquatch says the event allows them to open up a bit and have fun with humans.

Solely's helicopter arrival is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on The Museum of Flight's tarmac, with sightings throughout the galleries until 3:00 p.m.

Other events include family activities, planetarium shows, live performances of holiday music, and wintery family workshops. Plus, take advantage of FREE gift wrapping at The Museum Store! All Solstice with Sasquatch events are FREE with Museum membership and are included with General Admission.

The helicopter landing is FREE for all to watch!
