Another Great Opportunity for Aviation Enthusiasts!

The Payson Pilots Association is hosting an exciting Poker Run, and you’re invited to join the fun.

This is a simple day trip—no luggage, no fuss. Just load up your flying buddies, enjoy a beautiful day in the air, and try your luck at drawing the best poker hand.

If you plan to participate, please email Matt at paysonpilotsassoc@gmailcom. Registering ensures you’ll receive all event details as the date approaches, including the official pilot briefing before the kickoff.

Our chapter is proud to host one of the stops on the route. Even if you’re not flying in the Poker Run, expect plenty of great aircraft dropping by the hangar to pick up their card. It’ll be a perfect chance to see some unique airplanes and enjoy the energy of the event.

We appreciate the Payson Pilots Association for inviting Chapter 586 to be part of the fun. This is shaping up to be an exciting day for everyone who loves aviation.
