                                                           ---------------
Executive's obligations under the Executive Note shall be secured by a pledge of
the Executive Stock to the Company, and in connection therewith, Executive shall
enter  into  a  pledge  agreement  in  the  form  of  Annex  B  attached hereto.
                                                      --------

(2)       Executive  may  elect, in his sole discretion, to cause one or more of
his  own  independent retirement accounts or similar accounts (collectively, the
"IRS")  to  purchase  the Executive Stock on the condition that Executive causes
 ---
the  IRA  to  be bound by the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as
 -
Executive is bound.  If Executive makes such an election, the Company shall take
 -
     all reasonably necessary or desirable action to facilitate such purchase by
the  IRA.

(3)     In  connection  with  the  purchase  and  sale  of the Shares hereunder,

                                      -90-

(1)     Execu-tive  Stock to be acquired by Executive pursuant to this Agreement
shall  be  acquired  for  Executive's  own  account  and  not with a view to, or
intention  of,  distribu-tion thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any
applicable  state securities laws, and Executive shall not dispose of any shares
of  Executive  Stock  in  contravention  of the Securities Act or any applicable
state  securities  laws.

(2)     Executive  is  an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, is
sophisticated  in  financial  matters  and  is  able  to  evaluate the risks and
benefits  of  an  investment  in  Executive  Stock.

(3)     Executive  is able to bear the economic risk of his or her investment in
Executive  Stock  for  an indefinite period of time.  Executive understands that
shares of Executive Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act and,
     therefore,  cannot  be  sold  unless  subsequent-ly  registered  under  the
Securities  Act  or  an  exemption  from  such  registration  is  available.

(4)     Executive  has  had  an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
concerning  the  terms and conditions of the offering of Executive Stock and has
had  full  access  to  (A) such other information concerning the Company and the
offering  of  Executive  Stock hereunder as he or she has requested and (B) such
other  information  which  Executive  deemed  necessary and desirable to make an
informed  investment  decision  regarding  the  purchase  of  Executive  Stock
hereunder.

(5)     This  Agreement  constitutes  the legal, valid and binding obligation of
Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery
     and  performance  of  this  Agreement  by  Executive does not and shall not
conflict  with,  violate  or  cause  a  breach  of  any  agreement,  contract or
instrument  to  which  Executive  is a party or any judgment, order or decree to
which  Executive  is  subject.

(4)     As  an  inducement  to the Company to issue Executive Stock to Executive
hereunder,  and  as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and agrees that:

(1)     neither  the  issuance of Executive Stock to Executive hereunder nor any
provision  contained  herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment
of  the  Company  or  its subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company or its
subsidiaries  to  terminate  Executive's  employment  at  any  time;  and

(2)     neither  the  Company  nor  its  subsidiaries  shall  have  any  duty or
obligation  to  disclose  to  Executive, and Executive shall have no right to be
advised  of,  any  information  regarding the Company or its subsidiaries at any
time prior to, upon or in connection with the repurchase of Executive Stock upon
     the  termination  of  Executive's  employment  with  the  Company  or  its
subsidiaries  or  as  otherwise  provided  hereunder.


<PAGE>
(5)     The  Company and Executive acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has
been  executed  and delivered, and Executive Stock has been issued hereunder, in
connection  with  and  as  a part of the compensation and incentive arrangements
between  the  Company  and  Executive.

     PROMISSORY  NOTE



$130,000     [  __________  ]


     For  value  received,  George  W. Watts ("Promisor") promises to pay to the
                                               --------
order  of  Ranger Aerospace Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
                                                                      -------
the  aggregate  principal sum of $130,000.  This Note was issued pursuant to and
is  subject  to the terms of the Executive Stock Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof,  between  the  Company  and  Promisor (the "Executive Stock Agreement").
                                                    -------------------------
Unless  otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used in this Note have the
meaning  set  forth  in  the  Executive  Stock  Agreement.

     Interest  shall accrue on a daily basis on the outstanding principal amount
of  this  Note  at  a rate equal to the lesser of (i) 9.5% per annum, compounded
annually,  computed on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days
elapsed  or  (ii)  the  highest  rate  permitted by applicable law, and shall be
payable  at  such  time  as  the principal of this Note becomes due and payable.

     Payments  of  principal  and of accrued and unpaid interest under this Note
shall  be due or payable on the earlier of (i) April 1, 2008 or (ii) the date of
Executive's  Termination  with  Cause, except as otherwise provided herein or in
the  Executive  Stock  Agreement  of  even  date  herewith.

     Payments  of principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest under, this Note
shall  be due and payable upon Executive's receipt of proceeds from the transfer
of  any  Executive  Stock  (other  than a transfer to a Permitted Transferee, as
defined  in,  and in accordance with, the Securityholders Agreement) in the full
amount  of  such  proceeds or such lesser amount as is necessary to pay the full
amount  of outstanding principal of and accrued interest under this Note and for
Promisor  to  otherwise  fully  and finally discharge its obligations under this
Note.  Promisor  may, at his option, pay all or any portion of the principal of,
and  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  under,  this  Note at any time prior to the
maturity  hereof  without  penalty or premium.  Promisor may, at his option, pay
all or any portion of amounts due under this Note by surrendering to the Company
shares of Executive Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such
payment.  Any payment hereunder shall be applied first to pay accrued and unpaid
interest  under  this Note and second to reduce the outstanding principal amount
of  this  Note.


<PAGE>

     -  94  -
     The  amounts  due  under  this  Note are secured by a pledge of the Pledged
Shares  (as  such  term is defined in the Pledge Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, between Promisor and the Company).  Any cash dividends declared and paid
with  respect to the Pledged Shares shall be payable directly to the Company and
shall  be  applied  to reduce the outstanding principal amount (and any interest
thereon)  of  this  Note and any cash dividends paid to Promisor with respect to
the Pledged Shares will be promptly remitted to the Company and shall be applied
to  reduce  the  outstanding principal amount (and any interest thereon) of this
Note.

     Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  contained  herein  or  in the
Executive  Stock  Agreement,  it  is  expressly  agreed  that the Company or any
subsequent  holder  of  this  Note  shall  look  only to the Pledged Shares with
respect  to  aggregate  Defaults in excess of the sum of (i) 25% of the original
principal  amount  of  this  Note  and  (ii)  25% of all interest (both paid and
unpaid)  accrued  on  the  Note,  it being understood that, with respect to such
amounts,  this  Note  shall  be  without  recourse  to  Promisor with respect to
aggregate  Defaults  exceeding  such  amount.

     In  the  event  Promisor  fails  to pay any amounts due hereunder when due,
Promisor  shall  pay  to the holder hereof, in addition to such amounts due, all
costs  of  collection,  including  reasonable  attorneys  fees.

     Promisor,  or  his  successors  and  assigns,  hereby  waives  diligence,
presentment,  protest  and  demand  and  notice of protest, demand, dishonor and
nonpayment  of  this  Note,  and expressly agrees that this Note, or any payment
hereunder,  may  be  extended  from  time to time and that the holder hereof may
accept  security for this Note or release security for this Note, all without in
any  way  affecting  the  liability  of  Promisor  hereunder.

     Any  failure  by  the  Company to exercise any right hereunder shall not be
construed  as  a  waiver  of  its  right to exercise the same or any other right
hereunder  at  any  other  time.

     This  Note  and all rights hereunder shall be governed by the initial laws,
and  not  the  laws  of  conflict,  of  the  State  of  Florida.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein and other
good  and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged,  and  in order to induce the Company to accept the Note as payment
for  the  Pledged  Shares,  Pledgor  and  the  Company  hereby agree as follows:

     Pledge.  Pledgor hereby pledges to the Company, and grants to the Company a
     ------
security interest in, the Pledged Shares as security for the prompt and complete
payment  when  due  of the unpaid principal of and interest on the Note and full
payment and performance of the obligations and liabilities of Pledgor hereunder.

Pledgor shall deliver to the Company the certificate(s) representing the Pledged
Shares,  together  with duly executed forms of assignment sufficient to transfer
title  thereto  to  the  Company.

     Voting  Rights;  Cash  Dividends.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
     ------  ------   ----  ---------
contained  herein,  during  the term of this Pledge Agreement until such time as
there  exists  a  default in the payment of principal or interest on the Note or
any  other default under the Note or hereunder, Pledgor shall be entitled to all
voting  rights  with  respect  to  the  Pledged  Shares and shall be entitled to
receive  all  cash  dividends  paid  in respect of the Pledged Shares.  Upon the

     Stock Dividends; Distributions, etc.  If, while this Pledge Agreement is in
     ----- ---------  -------------  ---
effect,  Pledgor becomes entitled to receive or receives any securities or other
property  in  addition  to,  in  substitution  of, or in exchange for any of the
Pledged  Shares  (whether  as  a  distribution  in  connection  with  any
recapitalization,  reorganization  or  reclassification,  a  stock  dividend  or
otherwise),  Pledgor shall accept such securities or other property on behalf of
and  for  the  benefit  of  the  Company  as  additional security to the Company
together  with  duly  executed forms of assignment, and such additional security
shall  be  deemed  to  be  part  of  the  Pledged  Shares  hereunder.

     Default.  If  Pledgor  defaults in the payment of the principal or interest
     -------
under  the  Note  when  it  becomes  due  (whether  upon demand, acceleration or
otherwise) or any other event of default under the Note or this Pledge Agreement
occurs  (including  the  bankruptcy  or  insolvency of Pledgor), the Company may
exercise any and all the rights, powers and remedies of any owner of the Pledged
Shares  (including  the  right  to  vote  the  shares  and receive dividends and
distributions  with  respect  to  such  shares)  and shall have and may exercise
without  demand  any  and all the rights and remedies granted to a secured party
upon  default  under  the  Uniform  Commercial  Code  of the State of Florida or
otherwise  available  to the Company under applicable law.  Without limiting the
foregoing,  the  Company  is  authorized  to  sell,  assign  and  deliver at its
discretion,  from  time  to  time,  all or any part of the Pledged Shares at any
private  sale  or  public  auction,  on not less than ten days written notice to
Pledgor,  at  such  price  or prices and upon such terms as the Company may deem
advisable.  Pledgor  shall  have no right to redeem the Pledged Shares after any
such  sale or assignment.  At any such sale or auction, the Company may bid for,
and become the purchaser of, the whole or any part of the Pledged Shares offered
for  sale.  In case of any such sale, after deducting the costs, attorneys' fees
and  other  expenses  of  sale and delivery, the remaining proceeds of such sale
shall  be applied to the principal of and accrued interest on the Note; provided
that  after  payment  in  full  of  the  indebtedness evidenced by the Note, the
balance  of  the  proceeds  of  sale then remaining shall be paid to Pledgor and
Pledgor  shall  be entitled to the return of any of the Pledged Shares remaining
in  the  hands  of  the  Company.  Pledgor  shall be liable for an amount not to
exceed 25% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note for any
deficiency  if  the  remaining proceeds are insufficient to pay the indebtedness
under  the  Note  in  full,  including the fees of any attorneys employed by the
Company  to  collect  such  deficiency.

     Costs  and  Attorneys'  Fees.  All costs and expenses (including reasonable
     -----  ---  ----------  ----
attorneys'  fees) incurred in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by
this  Pledge  Agreement  or in the enforcement thereof, shall become part of the
indebtedness  secured  hereunder and shall be paid by Pledgor or repaid from the
proceeds  of  the  sale  of  the  Pledged  Shares  hereunder.

     Payment  of  Indebtedness  and  Release of Pledged Shares.  Upon payment in
     -------  --  ------------  ---  ------- -- ------- ------
full  of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, the Company shall surrender the
Pledged  Shares  to  Pledgor  together  with  all  forms  of  assignment.


<PAGE>
     No  Other  Liens;  No  Sales  or  Transfers.  Pledgor hereby represents and
     --  -----  -----   --  -----  --  ---------
warrants  that he has good and valid title to all of the Pledge Shares, free and
clear  of  all  liens,  security  interests  and other encumbrances, and Pledgor
hereby  covenants  that,  until such time as all of the outstanding principal of
and  interest  on the Note has been repaid, Pledgor shall not (i) create, incur,
assume  or  suffer  to exist any pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien or
charge  of  any  kind against the Pledged Shares or Pledgor's rights or a holder
thereof, other than pursuant to this Agreement and the Securityholders Agreement
of  even  date,  or  (ii)  sell  or otherwise transfer any Pledged Shares or any
interest  therein  unless  all  of  the  proceeds  associated  with such sale or
transfer are applied against the accrued and unpaid interest on and principal of
the  Note  at  the  time  of  such  sale  or  transfer.

     Further  Assurances.  Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time
     -------  ----------
upon  the written request of the Company, Pledgor shall execute and deliver such
further  documents (including UCC financing statements) and do such further acts
and things as the Company may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes
of  this  Pledge  Agreement.

     Severability.  Any  provision  of this Pledge Agreement which is prohibited
     ------------
or  unenforceable  in  any  jurisdiction  shall,  as  to  such  jurisdiction, be
ineffective  to  the  extent  of  such  prohibition  or unenforceability without
invalidating  the  remaining  provisions  hereof,  and  any  such prohibition or
unenforceability  in  any  jurisdiction  shall  not  invalidate  or  render
unenforceable  such  provision  in  any  other  jurisdiction.

     No  Waiver;  Cumulative Remedies.  The Company shall not by any act, delay,
     --  ------   ---------- --------
omission  or  otherwise  be  deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies
hereunder,  and  no  waiver  shall  be  valid  unless  in writing, signed by the
Company, and then only to the extent therein set forth.  A waiver by the Company
of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a
bar  to any right or remedy which the Company would otherwise have on any future
occasion.  No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the
Company,  any  right,  power  or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
The  rights  and  remedies  herein  provided and cumulative and may be exercised
singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided
by  law.

     Waivers,  Amendments;  Applicable  Law.  None of the terms or provisions of
     -------   ----------   ----------  ---
this  Pledge  Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an
instrument  in writing, duly executed by the parties hereto.  This Agreement and
all  obligations  of  the  Pledgor  hereunder shall together with the rights and
remedies  of  the Company hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Company and its
successors  and  assigns.  This  Pledge  Agreement  shall be governed by, and be
construed  and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida.
