Airman 2nd Class Guy Robert Fasolas, a resident of Nephi, was one of five military personnel and nine civilians aboard an Air Force C-54 that crashed near the top of Mount Charleston, NV, on Nov. 17, 1955. The flight was classified, as it involved the development of the U-2 spy plane. At the time, government officials told false stories about its purpose in order to preserve secrecy.
Fasolas was the only Utahn on the plane. He was a member of an LDS ward in Nephi, having been baptized on June 5, 1943. His father, Charles, was from originally from Pennsylvania and his mother, Mabel Anderson, was a prominent businesswoman in Nephi.
