         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TIMCO AVIATION SERVICES, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "BORROWER"), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of
LJH, LTD., a Texas limited partnership (the "LENDER"), the principal amount of
FIVE MILLION and NO/100 DOLLARS on July 31, 2004 (or if not a Business Day
(defined below), the next preceding Business Day) (the "MATURITY DATE").

         1.       Interest. The Borrower further promises to pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby from the date
advanced until such principal amount is paid in full at a per annum rate of
interest equal to The Wall Street Journal LIBOR Rate plus two (2%) percent. "THE
WALL STREET JOURNAL LIBOR RATE" is the fluctuating rate of interest equal to the
one-month London Interbank Offered Rate as published in the "Money Rates"
section of The Wall Street Journal on the immediately preceding Business Day (as
hereinafter defined). Accrued interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default (as such term is defined below), and for as long thereafter as
such Event of Default shall be continuing unwaived, the principal balance
outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at eighteen percent (18%) per annum.
Interest at the per annum rate set forth above will be calculated at a daily
rate for a year of 365/366 days (as the case may be); that amount is multiplied
by the actual number of days for which any principal is outstanding hereunder).
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Note, the Lender does not intend
to charge and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount of interest
or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. The
Borrower agrees that during the full term hereof, the maximum lawful interest
rate for this Note as determined under Texas law shall be the indicated weekly
ceiling as specified in Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended.
Further, to the extent that any other lawful rate ceiling exceeds the rate
ceiling so determined then the higher rate ceiling shall apply. Any payment in
excess of such maximum shall be refunded to Borrower or credited against
principal, at the option of the Lender.

         2.       Use of Proceeds. The Borrower agrees and covenants that
proceeds of the loan advanced under this Note shall be used solely to pay off
and refinance the obligations evidenced by that certain Replacement Term Note
dated July 12, 2002 from certain subsidiaries of the Borrower in favor of Bank
of America, N.A. in the original principal amount of $5,000,000 and any rights
of subrogation related thereto ("BofA Note"). This Note constitutes a novation
of the BofA Note.

this Note shall be made to the Lender in lawful money of the United States of
America in same day funds on the date due at the Lender's office designated
below. Funds received by the Lender as aforesaid no later than 4:00 p.m.
(Houston time) on any given Business Day shall be credited against payment to be
made that day and funds received by the Lender after that time shall be deemed
to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean
a day in the

applicable local time which is not a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday and
on which banks are not required or permitted by law or other governmental action
to close in Houston, Texas. All payments made on account of principal hereof and
interest thereon shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and records.

         4.       Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall
be subordinate and inferior in right of payment to (i) the Obligations evidenced
by and as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below); and (ii) all
obligations and liabilities evidenced by the TROL Documents (as defined in the

"Intercreditor Agreement"), and the holder of this Note shall not take any
actions against the Borrower or any of its property in contravention of the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

         5.       Pari Passu. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be
pari passu, and otherwise equal in right of payment and on parity with, the
indebtedness evidenced by (i) that certain Indenture dated February 28, 2002, as

or safety condition of any respective past, present or future property of such

satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. The Lender
agrees to notify the Borrower of the institution or assertion of any Indemnified
Matter, but the parties hereto hereby agree that the failure to so notify the
