Hangar Holiday
Delta Airlines and Madison Square Garden teamed up on Tuesday for
Holiday in a Hangar, in which 100 children living with illness or
poverty and their families “flew” from the Delta Terminal at
Kennedy Airport to the North Pole — a decorated hangar. Guests
included singer Willow Smith, the Rockettes, former members of the
Knicks and Rangers, and of course, Santa.
