     Re:   Acquisition  of  Certain Assets of Interactive  Flight
Technologies, Inc.

Dear Mr. Riner:

     This letter of intent ("Letter of Intent") will reflect  the
mutual  intent  of  Interactive  Flight  Technologies,  Inc.,   a
Delaware corporation ("IFT"), and The Network Connection, Inc., a
Georgia corporation (the "Company"), regarding acquisition by the
Company  (the "Acquisition") of all or substantially all  of  the
assets  ("Assets") and specific liabilities ("Liabilities",  with
the Assets, collectively the "Net Assets") of IFT relating to its
interactive  entertainment business (the "Business") in  exchange
for  restricted  Common Stock of the Company ("Company  Shares").
The  Company has ten million (10,000,000) shares of Common  Stock
authorized and 5,072,196 shares issued and outstanding,  and  has
one  thousand  five  hundred (1,500) shares  of  Preferred  Stock
authorized and 1,500 shares issued and outstanding.  The  Company
also  has options, warrants or other securities convertible  into
capital stock ("Convertible Securities") outstanding.

     The   Company  will  acquire  the  Assets  and  assume   the
Liabilities directly or through a wholly owned subsidiary.  As  a
result  of  the  transaction,  the Company will  become  a  sixty
percent  (60%)  owned  subsidiary  of  IFT  upon  the  terms  and
conditions provided herein and any additional terms which will be
set  forth in a definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement")
to  be concluded among us. The parties reserve the right, in  the
Definitive  Agreement,  to restructure the  proposed  transaction
depending  upon more favorable tax and related consequences  that
alternative structures may pose for each of the parties.

     1.   Acquisition of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities.
          
          1.1.          Assets Conveyed and Liabilities  Assumed.
The  Company  will  acquire the Assets and will assume  specified
Liabilities  related  to  the  Business.   The  Net  Assets  will
include:  $5  million in cash; accounts receivable owing  to  IFT
from  Swissair;  the proceeds and other recoveries  generated  by
certain  litigation  brought  by IFT  against  Avnet,  Inc.;  the
Swissair  warranty contract; the Swissair customer  relationship;
all  IFT  interactive  entertainment intellectual  property,  and
other tangible assets related to the Business (including but  not
limited  to  customer lists and files, trade secrets, trademarks,
service  marks,  assignable government permits and  other  rights
under  leases  and rights under specified contracts);  inventory,
furniture,  fixtures,  computers and  equipment  related  to  the
Business;  other  infrastructure (including FAA certified  repair
station)   relating  to  the  Business;  IFT's  engineering   and
technical  staff; and the benefit of all research and development
efforts  (which have been developed at a cost of over $20,000,000
since  the  inception of IFT).  The Assets  to  be  acquired  and
Liabilities to be assumed will be specifically delineated in  the
Definitive Agreement.

          1.2.  Closing  Date.   The  date  of  closing  of   the
transaction, as defined in the Definitive Agreement (the "Closing
Date"), shall be as soon as practicable after: (i) completion  of
the   mutual  due  diligence  investigations  contemplated  under
Paragraph  6  below; (ii) execution of the Definitive  Agreement;
(iii) satisfaction of all conditions of each party to closing set
forth   in  the  Definitive  Agreement;  (iv)  approval  of   the
transaction  by the shareholders of each of IFT and the  Company;
(v) receipt of "fairness opinions" by each of IFT and the Company
(if and to the extent deemed appropriate by each) with respect to
the  fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Acquisition
to  the  stockholders of each of such companies,  which  fairness
opinions, respectively, are satisfactory in form and scope to the
boards  of  directors  of such companies;  (vi)  receipt  of  the
required approvals under Delaware and Georgia corporate law,  and
other  required  regulatory approvals for the  Acquisition.   The
Closing  Date  will not be later than May 15,  1999  without  the
mutual consent of the parties.

          1.3.  Name.   The Company will become a  sixty  percent
(60%)  owned subsidiary of IFT and its name will continue  to  be
The  Network Connection, Inc., unless provided otherwise  in  the
Definitive Agreement.
     
          1.4.  Exchange  of Assets for Shares.  On  the  Closing
Date,  in  exchange for the IFT Assets, the Company  shall  issue
that  number of restricted shares of its Common Stock, par  value
$.001  per share (the "Company Shares"), that equal 60%   of  the
issued  and  outstanding common stock of  the  Company,  computed
after  issuance  of  the  Company  Shares  on  and  assuming  the
conversion  or  exercise  of all Convertible  Securities  of  the
Company.   Any  shares of Common Stock of  the Company  that  IFT
acquires  under  Paragraph  2.16 shall  be  in  addition  to  the
foregoing   Company   Shares.   The  Company   will   issue   the
certificates representing the Company Shares to IFT, the  Company
will  assume the Liabilities and IFT will transfer the Assets  to
the  Company.  The Company will take such action with its current
shareholders  (including,  but not  limited  to,  increasing  the
number  of  authorized Company Shares) as necessary to effectuate
the transaction contemplated by this Letter of Intent.
     
          1.5.  No  Additional Outstanding Options and  Warrants.
The  Company will not issue any additional shares of its  capital
stock  or  any  Convertible Securities between the date  of  this
Letter  of  Intent and the Closing Date without first  consulting
with IFT.

Effect;
