No such action of the pilot in command shall create or support any  liability for loss, injury, damage or delay to Lessee or any other person.  The parties further  agree that  Lessor  shall  not  be  liable  for  delay  or  failure  to  furnish  the  Aircraft  and  crew  pursuant to this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, when   {00052851 5 }                      2
