A few of REA’s friends.
After gathering at Pad Site 1, we had refreshments in one of the T-hangars… and warmed up. It was a cold day!
We are so thankful for the community, owners, partners, family and friends who came out to be a part of history and our dream. We are looking forward to the days to come!
Mark Hackett, CEO of REA and Ray Gibson, President of REA and Gibson Industries
