A very special THANK YOU to the pilots who will be joining us for the 72nd Annual Northern Gila County Fair Opening Ceremonies and honoring our community with a Missing Man Formation Flyover. 🇺🇸

📅 Thursday, October 1 at 6:00 PM
📍 Payson Event Center

We are incredibly grateful to these pilots, associated with the Arizona Scorpions Formation Group, for helping us create such a meaningful tribute:

🇺🇸 Rory Hansen — Navy Pilot
🇺🇸 Aniz Rasslan — Airline Pilot
🇺🇸 Vic Tansey — Marine Corps Pilot
🇺🇸 Dan Anderson — Navy Pilot
🇺🇸 Carl Brownd — Surgeon & Pilot

Several of these pilots are our neighbors from the Mazatzal Airpark, with others traveling from Flagstaff and Scottsdale to participate.

The Missing Man Formation Flyover will take place immediately following the National Anthem as part of our Opening Ceremonies.

Thank you, gentlemen, for giving your time, talents, and aircraft to help us honor those who have served and remember special members of our community who are no longer with us. ❤️🤍💙

Please join us October 1 at 6 PM for this very special opening to the 2026 Northern Gila County Fair. 🇺🇸
