         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual promises
herein contained, and the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, Borrower, BAH, JACO and Lender agree and do hereby amend the Loan
Documents and the Master Agreement as follows:

            1.      Increase in Revolving Loan Commitment; Amended and Restated
Note; No Novation. The Revolving Loan Commitment, as defined in the Loan
Agreement, is hereby increased to $4,000,000.00 subject to all of the terms and
provisions of the Loan Agreement including, without limitation, the Borrowing
Base. The Original Note is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set
forth in the Second Amended Note. Henceforth, all references in the Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the "Note" or the "Revolving Note"
shall mean the Second Amended Note. The Second Amended Note is not intended to,
nor shall it, constitute a novation in any manner whatsoever.

            2.      Termination Date.  The Termination Date, as defined in the 
Loan Agreement, is July 31, 1998.  Lender may, in its sole discretion, extend 
the Termination Date.

            3.      Change in Borrowing Base.  The definition of "Borrowing
Base" in the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as 
follows:

                           (i) "Borrowing Base" means 70% of the Eligible
                  Receivables. The calculation of the Borrowing Base shall be
                  based upon the latest Monthly Market Pair Summary and the
                  latest interim Monthly Market Pair Summary, as applicable,
                  and, with respect to Non-Transportation Receivables,
                  Borrower's reasonable good faith estimate of these
                  Non-Transportation Receivables. In no event shall such
                  Non-Transportation Receivables in excess of $350,000
                  constitute any portion of the Eligible Receivables for
                  computation of the Borrowing Base in any given month. The
                  calculation of the Borrowing Base shall be subject to
                  adjustment by Lender at any time to reflect contrary
                  information contained in (a) the Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.,
                  Settlement Statements Relating to Inter-Airline Accounts
                  Receivable delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(f) and/or (b)
                  any alternate source of information deemed appropriate by
                  Lender.

           4.       Mandatory Repayments.   Section 1.06 of the Loan Agreement 
is hereby amended by adding the following Subsection 1.06(d):

                           (d) Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal
                  balance of the Revolving Loan and all interest thereon, in
                  full, on each June 30 and December 31 hereafter. Amounts paid
                  under this Section 1.06(d) may be reborrowed after each June
                  30 and December 31 prior to the Termination Date, subject to
                  the provisions of this Loan Agreement.

           5.       Special Undertakings with respect to Aircraft Rents. In the
event that the balance of the Special Account (as defined in the BNY
Disbursement Agreement) is insufficient to pay all of the due and payable
Creditor Obligations (as defined in the BNY Disbursement Agreement), Borrower
shall request an Advance pursuant to Section 1.02 of the Loan Agreement in the
amount equal to the difference of (a) all sums due and payable under the
Creditor Obligations minus (b) the proceeds available under Section 4.1 of the
BNY Disbursement Agreement for application against the Creditor Obligations.
Lender may, but is under no obligation to, waive any requirements of the Loan
Agreement with respect to the making or disbursing of the requested Advance.
Borrower shall request such Advances as soon as Borrower has reason to believe
that in any given month the Creditor Obligations for that month exceed the
proceeds available under Section 4.1 of the BNY Disbursement Agreement for
payment of Creditor Obligations with respect to that month. In the event that
Borrower fails to request such a disbursement, Lender may, but is under no
obligation to, unilaterally make an Advance in the amount equal to the
difference of (c) all sums due and payable under the Creditor Obligations for
any given month minus (d) the proceeds available under Section 4.1 of the BNY
Disbursement Agreement for application against the Creditor Obligations with
respect to that month.

           6.       Centura Loan. Lender acknowledges that the existence of the
existing $400,000 loan to Borrower from Centura Bank as set forth in the
Commitment Letter dated October 8, 1996 does not constitute a default of the
Loan Agreement provided, however, that any default under any current or future
document evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to this Centura loan shall
constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.

           7.       Modifications of Loan Documents; Terms Not Changed. Each of
the Loan Documents is hereby modified to reflect the terms of this Second
Amendment and the concurrent modification of the other Loan Documents. The term
"Loan Documents", as contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, shall expressly include without limitation the Loan Agreement, the
Second Amended Note, this Second Amendment, the First Amendment, the Master
Agreement, the JACO/BAH Promissory Note, the BNY Disbursement Agreement and all
other current and future documents (a) evidencing, securing or otherwise
relating to the Loan or (b) relating to the Loan Documents or the Master
Agreement. Unless expressly modified herein, each of the other provisions of the
Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

           8.       Amendment to BNY Disbursement Agreement. Borrower shall
execute and deliver an amendment to the BNY Disbursement 

                                       3

Agreement, in a form and content satisfactory to JACO, BAH and Lender.

           9.       Conditions Precedent; Further Assurances.  The effectiveness
of this Second Amendment is expressly conditioned on the following conditions 
precedent being satisfied to the satisfaction of BAH, JACO, Lender and their 
counsel;

                  a.    Execution and delivery by all parties of this Second
                        Amendment; 

                  b.    Execution and delivery of the Second Amended Note by
                        Borrower;


                  c.    Delivery of an opinion of counsel to Borrower, in a form
                        and content satisfactory to Lender, addressing the
                        execution, delivery, authorization and enforceability of
                        this Second Amendment and the Second Amended Note, the
                        amendment of the BNY Disbursement Agreement, the
                        collateralization of the Second Amended Note, and such
                        other and further provisions as may be required by
                        Lender; 

                  d.    Payment by Borrower of the expenses, including without
                        limitation, reasonable legal fees, incurred by JACO, BAH
                        and/or Lender in connection with this Second Amendment;
                        and 

                  e.    Such other and further matters as may be reasonably
                        required by Lender, including, without limitation, UCC
                        searches, corporate material, and other material.

         Borrower further agrees to execute and deliver such other instruments
and material as may be requested by BAH, JACO or Lender to consummate the
intentions of the parties with respect to this Second Amendment including,
without limitation, the creation, attachment and perfection of the security
interest intended to secure the Second Amended Note.

           10.       General. This Second Amendment may be executed in more than
one counterpart, each of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
This Second Amendment shall be governed by the laws of North Carolina. The
invalidity of any provision contained in this Second Amendment shall not effect
the validity of any of the other provisions. A default by Lender under the Loan
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (other than the Master Agreement)
shall not constitute a default under the Master Agreement or give rise to any
claims, rights or set off thereunder. A default by Lender, JACO or BAH under the
Master Agreement shall not be a default under the other Loan Documents or give
rise to any claims, rights or set off thereunder. BORROWER REPRESENTS AND
WARRANTS TO BAH, JACO AND LENDER THAT BORROWER HAS NO CLAIMS, AGAINST BAH, JACO
OR LENDER AND BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES CLAIMS IT MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE
HAD, AGAINST JACO, BAH AND/OR LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE MASTER AGREEMENT,
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LOAN OR ANY OTHER DEALING AMONGST THESE ENTITIES.
