Aviation Community) is an NBAA program created to heighten two-way

interact, discuss issues and socialize with business aviation
professionals as well as with business and civic leaders from the
local community. The REACHBAC luncheon is complimentary for all
members of the business aviation community.
The REACHBAC function will be held at General Electric�s

County Airport. The luncheon will begin at 11:30 a.m. Sponsors of
