     THIS EXECUTIVE SECURITIES AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of August
                                                ---------
31,  2000,  between  Ranger  Aerospace  Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"),  and  Jeffrey  P.  Hartman  ("Executive").
    ----                                  ---------

     The  Company  and  Executive  desire to enter into an agreement pursuant to
which Executive shall purchase, and the Company shall sell to Executive, (i) 200
shares  of  the  Company's  Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $0.01 per
share  (the "Common Stock"), at a price of $100 per share, and (ii) 30 shares of
             ------------
the  Company's  Redeemable  Preferred  Stock,  par  value  $.01  per  share (the
"Preferred  Stock," and together with the Common Stock, the "Shares") at a price
        ---------                                            ------
of  $1,000  per  share.  All  shares of capital stock of the Company acquired by
Executive  under  this  Agreement  are  referred to herein as "Executive Stock."
                                                               ---------------
Certain  definitions  are  set  forth  in  paragraph  6  of  this  Agreement.

     The  parties  hereto  agree  as  follows:

27     Purchase  and  Sale  of  Executive  Stock.
--     -----------------------------------------

(1)     Upon  execution  of  this  Agreement,  Executive shall purchase, and the
Company  shall  sell  to  Executive, 200 shares of Common Stock and 30 shares of
Preferred  Stock  for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000.  The Company shall
deliver  to  Executive a copy of the certifi-cates repre-senting the Shares (the
originals  of  which  the  Company shall retain), and Executive shall pay to the
Company  $2.30 in cash and shall deliver to the Company a promissory note in the
form  of  ANNEX A attached hereto in an aggregate principal amount of $49,997.70
(the "Executive Note"). Executive's obligation under the Executive Note shall be
      --------------
     secured  by  a  pledge of the 200 shares of Class B Common Stock and the 30
shares  of  Preferred  Stock  purchased by Executive hereunder and in connection
therewith,  Executive shall enter into a pledge agreement in the form of ANNEX B
attached  hereto.

(2)     In  connection  with  the  purchase  and  sale  of the Shares hereunder,
Executive  represents  and  warrants  to  the  Company  that:

(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.

instrument  to  which  Executive  is a party or any judgment, order or decree to
which  Executive  is  subject.

(3)     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.

(4)     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.

agreement  in  the  form  attached  hereto  as  ANNEX  B)  and to consummate the

it  of  this  Agreement  and  the  consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby  have  been  duly authorized by all necessary corporate action; (ii) this
Agreement  has  been  duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and
constitutes  a  legal and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against
the  Company  in  accordance  with its terms; (iii) the Executive Stock has been
duly  authorized  and  validly  issued,  and  upon  satisfaction  of Executive's
obligation  to  pay  the  cash and the principal of an interest on the Note, the
Executive  Stock will be fully-paid and non-assessable; and, (iv) the execution,
delivery  and  performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation
by  the  Company  of  the  transactions contemplated hereby will not violate any
provision  of  law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Company is subject,
violate any order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company or conflict with
or  result  in  a breach or default under any term or condition of the Company's
certificate  of  incorporation or bylaws or any material agreement or instrument
to  which  the  Company  is  a  party  or  by  which  it  is  bound.

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

$49,997.70     August  31,  2000

     For  value received, Jeffrey P. Hartman ("Promisor") promises to pay to the
                                               --------
order  of  Ranger Aerospace Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
                                                                      -------
the aggregate principal sum of $49,997.70.  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.

     The  amounts  due  under  this  Note are secured by a pledge of the Pledged
Shares  (as  such term is defined in the Executive Stock 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) 100% 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.

                          RANGER AEROSPACE CORPORATION
                        EXECUTIVE STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT
                        --------- ----- ------ ---------

     THIS  PLEDGE  AGREEMENT  is  made  to  be  effective as of August 31, 2000,
between  Jeffrey  P.  Hartman  ("Pledgor"),  and Ranger Aerospace Corporation, a
                                 -------
Delaware  Corporation  (the  "Company").
                              -------

     The Company and Pledgor are parties to an Executive Stock Agreement of even
date  herewith,  pursuant  to  which  Pledgor  purchased  (i)  200 shares of the
Company's  Class  B Common Stock, $.01 par value per share and (ii) 30 Shares of
the  Company's  Redeemable  Preferred  Stock,  par  value  $.01  per  share
(collectively,  the  "Pledged  Shares"),  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price of
                      ---------------
$50,000.  The  Company  has  allowed  Pledgor  to purchase the Pledged Shares by
delivery  to  the Company of cash in the amount of $2.30 and a Note (the "Note")
                                                                          ----
in the aggregate principal amount of $49,997.70.  This Pledge Agreement provides
the  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  the Note is secured by a pledge to the
Company  of  the  Pledged  Shares.

     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:

     1.     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.

     2.     Delivery  of  Pledged  Shares.  Upon  the  execution  of this Pledge
            --------  --  -------  ------
Agreement  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.

     3.     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.  Upon the occurrence of
and  during the continuance of any such default, Pledgor shall no longer be able
to  vote  the Pledged Shares.  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
the  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 the Note.

     4.     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.

     5.     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 100% of the 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.

     6.     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.

     7.     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.

     8.     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,  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.

     9.     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.

     10.     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.

     11.     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 are cumulative and may be
exercised  singly  or  concurrently,  and  are  not  exclusive  of any rights or
remedies  provided  by  law.

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

written  notice to the Company that you are exercising the Option by authorizing
the  Company  to  withhold  from  issuance  a  number  of shares of Common Stock
issuable  upon  such  exercise  of the Option which, when multiplied by the Fair
Market  Value  of  the  Common  Stock,  is  equal  to the Option Price (and such
withheld  shares  shall  no  longer  be  issuable  under  this  Option).

     3.     Exercisability/Vesting.
            ----------------------

If you cease to be employed by the Company or its subsidiaries on any date other
than  March 31 of any year included above, the percentage of your Option that is
vested  shall equal the percentage of your Option which was vested as of the end
of  the  immediately  preceding  fiscal  quarter  of  the  Company.

     (c)     Performance  Vesting.     212  of  the  Option Shares issuable upon
             --------------------
exercise  of  your  Option  are  subject to accelerated performance vesting (the
"Performance  Vesting  Shares")  as  described  below.  Your Option shall become
    -------------------------
vested  with  respect to the Performance Vesting Shares, 60% on the date hereof,
and  thereafter,  based  upon  the  achievement by the Company on a consolidated
basis  of  certain  EBITDA  targets  as  set forth in the following schedule (as
adjusted,  the  "Target EBITDA"), if as of each such date you are still employed
                 -------------
by  the  Company  or  one  of  its  subsidiaries:

                                 Cumulative Percentage of
                                Performance Vesting Shares
                      Year Ended     Target EBITDA     Vested
                    ------------     -------------     ------

                           March 31, 2001     $20,220,000     80%
                -------------------------     -----------     ---

                          March 31, 2002     $21,880,000     100%
               -------------------------     -----------     ----

     All  or  any  portion  of the EBITDA that is in excess of the Target EBITDA
(the  "Excess  EBITDA")  for  any  year  may  be  carried  back  and included in
       --------------
calculation  of EBITDA for any of the 3 immediately preceding years in the event
      ---
that Target EBITDA was not met in any of such 3 preceding years.   If the Target
EBITDA  of the Company for any year is met due to the carryback of Excess EBITDA
from  a  succeeding  year  pursuant  to this paragraph, your Option shall become
vested  as  of  the  end  of  the succeeding year in which the Excess EBITDA was
actually generated.  Any carry back of Excess EBITDA from any year shall be made
first to the most recently preceding year in which the Company failed to achieve
Target  EBITDA,  and  thereafter  to  prior years in which the Company failed to
achieve  Target EBITDA  in reverse chronological order.  In no case shall Excess
EBITDA  be carried back to a year that is more than 3 years prior to the year in
which  the  Excess  EBITDA  is actually generated.  In order for your Options to
vest  for  a  preceding  year  as  a  result  of the carry back of Excess EBITDA
according  to  this paragraph, you must be employed as of the end of the year in
which  the  Excess  EBITDA  was  actually  generated.

     Target  EBITDA  shall  be  adjusted  from  time  to  time  by  the Board in
connection with the acquisition by the Company of any other business or interest
therein.  In  connection  with  any such acquisition, the Board will approve and
adopt  revised  levels  of  Target  EBITDA for each fiscal year remaining during
which  Performance  Vesting  Shares  are  subject  to  vesting  pursuant to this
paragraph  3(c).  The  revised  Target  EBITDA  shall  be  determined based upon
financial  projections  for the Company approved by the Board in connection with
its  approval  of  such  acquisition  transaction;  provided,  however  that any
increase  in  Target  EBITDA  may  not be greater than the projected incremental
EBITDA  of  the  Company  associated  with  such  acquisition  transaction.

     The  effective date of vesting shall be March 31 of any year included above
even  though  EBITDA  for  the related period may not be determined until a date
thereafter.  If  you  cease to be employed by the Company or its subsidiaries on
any  date other than March 31 of any year included above, the percentage of your
Option that is vested shall equal the percentage of your Option which was vested
as  of  the  immediately  preceding  fiscal  quarter  of  the  Company.

     Except  as otherwise provided herein, if any portion of your Option has not
vested as of the date on which such portion of your Option is eligible to become
vested  pursuant  to  this  Agreement,  such  portion  shall  be  automatically
transferred  to  the  Company  without  any  consideration  to  you.

     (d)     Home  Run Vesting.  318 of the Option Shares issuable upon exercise
             -----------------
of  your  Option  are  subject  to accelerated "home run" vesting (the "Home Run
                                                                        --------
Vesting  Shares") upon a Sale of the Company in which all securities outstanding
    -----------
as  of  the  date  of  this Agreement and then owned by John Hancock Mutual Life
Insurance  Company  and its affiliates and CIBC Wood Gundy Ventures Inc. and its
affiliates,  including  (without limitation) any such securities issued pursuant
to  the  Securities  Purchase  Agreements,  are  sold,  redeemed  or  receive
distributions  with  respect  thereto, for an amount, payable in cash or readily
marketable  securities,  equal  in  the aggregate to the original issuance price
thereof  plus  a  cumulative  annual internal rate of return in excess of 35% as
determined  reasonably and in good faith by the Board (after taking into account
any  dilution suffered with respect to such securities in connection with such a
Qualified  Sale  of the Company as the result of the acceleration of any vesting
provisions applicable to any securities of the Company or any rights, options or
warrants  to  purchase  any  securities  of  the Company, including the Home Run
Vesting  Shares.)   If  you  disagree in any respect with the calculation of IRR
determined  by  the  Board,  such  disagreement  shall  be  resolved by the same
procedures  for  resolving disagreements in the calculation of Fair Market Value
set  forth  in  the  definition  thereof.

     (e)     Termination  of  Employment.  Notwithstanding paragraphs 3(a), (b),
             ---------------------------

                  ---------------------------
(i)  by  the  Company  or one of its subsidiaries without Cause, or, (ii) by you
with  Good  Reason,  your  Option shall be fully exercisable with respect to the
number  of  Option Shares that were exercisable on the date of such termination.
Any  portion  of  your  Option  that  was  not  exercisable  on the date of such
termination  (after  giving  effect  to  any acceleration under this clause (i))
shall  expire  and  be  for-feited.

          (ii)     Termination  for Cause.  If you are discharged by the Company
                   ----------------------
or  one  of  its  subsidiaries  for  Cause,  all  of  your Option not previously
exercised  shall  immediately  expire  and  be  forfeited  whether  vested  and
exercisable  or  not.

          (iii)     Other  Termination  of  Employment.  Unless  otherwise
                    ----------------------------------
determined  by the Committee, if your employment terminates for any reason other
than  upon  the  termination  of  your  employment  by the company or one of its
subsidiaries  (whether  with  or  without  Cause),  your  Option  shall be fully
exercisable  with  respect  to  that  portion of your Option that was vested and
exercisable on your Termination Date and any portion of your Option that was not
vested  and  exercisable on your Termination Date shall expire and be forfeited.

     The  number  of  Option  Shares  with  respect  to which your Option may be
exer-cised  shall  not  increase once you cease to be employed by the Company or
its  subsidiaries.

     (f)     Acceleration  of  Vesting  on Sale of the Company.  Notwithstanding
             -------------------------------------------------
any  other  provision  hereof  to  the  contrary,  if you have been continuously
employed  by  the  Company  or  one  of  its  subsidiaries from the date of this
Agreement until a Sale of the Company, provided that such Sale of the Company is
a  Qualified  Sale of the Company, the portion of your outstanding Option, other
than  the  Home  Run  Vesting  Shares  which  shall vest only in accordance with
paragraph  3(d)  hereof,  which  has not become vested at the date of such event
shall  immedi-ately  vest  and  become  exercisable  with respect to 100% of the
Option  Shares immediately prior and subject to the consummation of such Sale of
the  Company.  Any  portion of your Option which has not been exercised prior to
or  in connection with a Sale of the Company (whether or not a Qualified Sale of
the  Company)  shall  be forfeited immediately prior to the consummation of such
Sale  of the Company, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board.

     (g)     Automatic  Vesting.  If  as of January 28, 2007, all or any portion
             ------------------
of  your Option Shares have not become vested pursuant to this paragraph 3, such
unvested Option Shares shall automatically become vested, if as of such date you
are  still  employed  by  the  Company  or  one  of  its  subsidiaries.

     4.     Expiration  of Option.  In no event shall any part of your Option be
            ---------------------

time  to  time  prior  to  its  expiration,  by delivering written notice to the
Company  (to  the  attention  of  the  Company's  Secretary)  and  your  written
acknowledgment  that  you have read and have been afforded an opportunity to ask
questions  of  management  of  the  Company  regarding  all  financial and other
information  provided to you regarding the Company, together with payment of the
Option  Price  in  accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2(b) above.  As a
condition  to  any  exercise  of  your  Option,  you  shall  make  all customary
investment  representations  which  the  Company  reasonably  requires.

     6.     Securities  Laws Restrictions and Other Restric-tions on Transfer of
            --------------------------------------------------------------------
Option  Shares.  You  represent  that when you exercise your Option you shall be
--------------
purchasing  Option Shares for your own account and not on behalf of others.  You
--
understand  and  acknowledge  that  federal and state securities laws govern and
restrict  your  right  to  offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any Option Shares
unless  your  offer,  sale  or other disposition thereof is registered under the
Securities  Act  and  state securi-ties laws, or in the opinion of the Company's
counsel,  such  offer,  sale or other disposition is exempt from registration or
qualification thereunder.  You agree that you shall not offer, sell or otherwise
dispose  of any Option Shares in any manner which would: (i) require the Company
to  file  any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(or  any  similar  filing  under  state  law) or to amend or supplement any such
filing  or  (ii) violate or cause the Company to violate the Securities Act, the
rules  and regulations promulgated thereunder or any other state or federal law.
You  further understand that the certificates for any Option Shares you purchase
shall  bear  such  legends  as  the  Company  deems  necessary  or  desirable in
connection  with  the  Securities  Act  or  other  rules,  regulations  or laws.

     7.     Non-Transferability  of  Option.  Your Option is personal to you and
            -------------------------------
is  not  transferable by you except upon your death pursuant to your will or the
laws  of  descent  and  distribution.  During  your  lifetime  only you (or your
guardian  or  legal  representative)  may exercise your Option.  In the event of
your  death,  your  Option  may  be  exercised  only  (i)  by  the  executor  or
administrator  of your estate or the person or persons to whom your rights under
the  Option shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution (and such
executor, or administrator or other person or persons shall continue to be bound
by  all  the  provisions  of  this  Option,  including,  without limitation, the
provisions  of  paragraph  12)  and  (ii)  to  the extent that you were entitled
hereunder  at  the  date  of  your  death.

            ----------------------
respects  with,  and is subject to all applicable provisions of, the Plan (which

and  the  Plan  shall  be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  By
execut-ing  and  returning  the enclosed copy of this Agreement, you acknowledge
your  receipt of this Agreement and the Plan and agree to be bound by all of the
terms  of  this  Agreement  and  the  Plan.

     9.     Rights  of  Participants.  Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere
            ------------------------
with  or  limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate your employment
at  any  time (with or without Cause), nor confer upon you any right to continue
in  the  employ  of the Company or its subsidiaries for any period of time or to
continue  your  present  (or  any  other) rate of compensation.  Nothing in this
Agreement  shall  confer  upon  you  any  right  to  be selected again as a Plan
participant,  and  nothing  in  the Plan or this Agreement shall provide for any
adjustment  to  the  number  of  Option  Shares  subject to your Option upon the
occurrence  of  subsequent  events  except  as  provided  in paragraph 11 below.

     10.     Withholding  of Taxes.  The Company shall be entitled, if necessary
             ---------------------
or  desirable,  to  withhold  from  you  from any amounts due and payable by the
Company to you (or secure payment from you in lieu of withholding) the amount of
any  income  tax  withholding  due  from  the Company with respect to any Option
Shares  issuable under this Plan, and the Company may defer such issuance unless
indemnified  by  you  to  its  satisfaction.

     11.     Adjustments.  In  the  event of a reorganization, recapitalization,
             -----------
stock  dividend  or stock split, or combination or other change in the shares of
Common Stock, the Board or the Committee shall, in order to prevent the dilution
of  rights  under  your  Option  and may, in order to prevent the enlargement of
rights under your Option, make such adjustments in the number and type of shares
authorized by the Plan, the number and type of shares covered by your Option and
the  Exercise  Price  specified  herein  as  may  be reasonably determined to be
appropriate and equitable and to preserve all of your rights, under your Option.
The  issuance  by  the  Company  of  shares of stock of any class, or options or
securities  exercisable  or  convertible  into shares of stock of any class, for
cash  or  property,  or for labor or services, either upon direct sale, upon the
exercise  of  rights  or  warrants  to  subscribe  therefor, or upon exercise or
conversion  of  other securities, shall not affect, and no adjust-ment by reason
thereof  shall  be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common
Stock  then  subject  to  any  Options.

     12.     Right  to  Purchase  Option  Shares  Upon  Your  Termina-tion  of
             -----------------------------------------------------------------
Employment  for  Cause.
         -------------

     (a)     Repurchase  of  Option Shares.  If your employment with the Company
             -----------------------------
and  its  subsidiaries  shall  be  terminated  by  the  Company  or  one  of its
subsidiaries for Cause, then the Company shall have the option to repurchase all
or  any  part  of  the  Option  Shares issued or issu-able upon exercise of your
Option,  whether  held  by you or by one or more of your transferees, at a price
per  share  equal to the Exercise Price of such share (the "Repurchase Option").
                                                            -----------------

     (b)     Repurchase  by  Company.  The  Company may elect to purchase all or
             -----------------------
any  portion of the Option Shares by delivery of written notice (the "Repurchase
                                                                      ----------
Notice")  to  you  or  any other holders of the Option Shares within 45 business
------
days  after  your  Termina-tion  Date  (the  "Company  Election  Period").  The
---                                           -------------------------
Repurchase  Notice  shall  set  forth the number of Option Shares to be acquired
---
from you (or upon your death, from other holder(s)), the aggregate consideration
---
to  be  paid  for  such  shares  and  the  time and place for the closing of the
transaction.  If,  following your death, Option Shares are held by more than one
person,  the  Company shall purchase the shares elected to be purchased from the
holders  thereof,  pro  rata according to the number of shares held by each such
holder at the time of delivery of such Repurchase Notice (determined as close as
practical  to  the  nearest  whole  shares).

     (c)     Repurchase  by  Significant  Stockholders.  If  for  any reason the
             -----------------------------------------
Company  does  not  elect  to  purchase all of the Option Shares pursuant to the
Repurchase  Option,  then  the  Significant  Stockholders  shall  be entitled to
exercise  the  Company's Repur-chase Option in the manner set forth in paragraph
12(a)  for all or any portion of the number of Option Shares the Company has not
elected to purchase (the "Available Shares").  As soon as practi-cable after the
                          ----------------
Company  has  determined  that there shall be Available Shares, but in any event
within  5 business days after the expiration of the Company Election Period, the
Company  shall  deliver  written notice (the "Option Notice") to the Significant
                                              -------------
Stockholders setting forth the number of Available Shares and the price for each
Available  Share.  Each Significant Stockholder may elect to purchase any number
of  Available  Shares  by  delivering  written  notice  to the Company within 30
business days after receipt of the Option Notice from the Company.  If more than
one  Significant  Stockholder  elects  to purchase the Available Shares and such
elections  exceed the number of Available Shares, the number of Available Shares
to  be  purchased  by  the electing Significant Stockholders shall be allocat-ed
among  them  pro  rata  based upon their relative percentage ownership of Common
Stock  of  the Company on a fully diluted basis.  As soon as practicable, and in
any event within five business days  after the expiration of such 30-day period,
the  Company  shall notify you or any other holder(s) of Option Shares as to the
number  of  Option  Shares  being  purchased  from  you  by  the  Significant
Stockhold-ers  (the  "Supplemental Repurchase Notice").  At the time the Company
                      ------------------------------
delivers  the  Supplemental  Repurchase Notice to you or such other holder(s) of
Option  Shares,  each  Significant Stockholder shall also receive written notice
from  the Company setting forth the number of shares it is entitled to purchase,
the  aggregate  purchase  price  and  the  time  and place of the closing of the
transaction.

     (d)     Closing  of  Repurchase  of  Option Shares.  The purchase of Option
             ------------------------------------------
Shares  pursuant to this paragraph 12 shall be closed at the Company's executive
offices  on  a  date  determined  by  the Company, which date shall be within 45
business  days  after  the  expiration  of  the Company Election Period.  At the
closing,  the purchaser or purchasers shall pay the purchase price in the manner
specified in paragraph 12(a) and you or any other holders of Option Shares being
purchased shall deliver the certificate or certificates representing such shares
to  the  purchaser or purchasers or their nominees, accompanied by duly executed
stock  powers.  Any  purchaser of Option Shares under this paragraph 12 shall be
entitled  to  receive  customary repre-sentations and warranties from you or any
other selling holders of Option Shares regarding good title to such shares, free
and clear of any liens or encumbrances and to require all sellers' signatures to
be  guaranteed  by  a  national  bank  or  reputable  securities  broker.

     (e)     Manner  of  Payment.  If  the Company elects to purchase all or any
             -------------------
part  of  the  Option  Shares,  including  Option  Shares  held  by  one or more
transferees,  the  Company  shall  pay for such shares: (i) first, by offsetting
amounts  outstanding  under any indebtedness or other obligations owed by you to
the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (ii) by certified check or wire transfer
of  funds  to  the extent such payment would not cause the Company or any of its
subsidiaries  to  violate  the  General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the  "DGCL")  and  would  not  cause  the Company or any of its subsidiaries to
breach  any  debt  or  equity  financing agreement; and (iii) thereafter, with a
subordinat-ed promissory note of the Company.  Such subordinated promissory note
shall  bear interest at the applicable federal rate (which interest shall accrue
and  be  payable  annually  in cash unless otherwise prohibited), shall have all
principal  due  on  the  fifth  anniversary of the date of issuance and shall be
subordinated  on  terms  and  conditions  satisfactory  to  the  holders  of the
Company's and its subsidiaries' existing indebtedness for borrowed money. If any
Significant  Stockholders  elect to purchase all or any portion of the Available
Shares, such Significant -Stockholders shall pay for that portion of such Option
Shares  by  certified  check  or  wire  transfer  of  funds.

     (f)     Repurchase  Restriction.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary
             -----------------------
contained in this Agreement, all purchases of Option Shares by the Company shall
be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the DGCL and in the Company's
and  its  subsidiaries'  debt  and  equity  financing  agreements.  If  any such
restrictions  prohibit the purchase of Option Shares hereunder which the Company
is  otherwise  entitled  or  required  to  make,  all  time periods set forth in
paragraph  12  shall  be deemed to be extended so that the Company may make such
repurchase as soon as it is permitted to do so under such restrictions, and upon
purchase  the  Company shall pay to you interest on the purchase price of Option
Shares  to  be  purchased  accruing  during  the period of such extension at the
lesser  of  9.5%  per  annum  or  the  highest rate permitted by applicable law.

     13.     Restrictions  on  Transfer  of  Option Shares.  You shall not sell,
             ---------------------------------------------
pledge  or  otherwise transfer any interest in any Option Shares except pursuant
to:  (i)  a Public Sale as defined in the Ranger Aerospace Corporation Executive
Stock  Agreement  of even date herewith, (ii) the provisions of paragraphs 12 or
15  hereof,  (iii) sales to one or more other employees of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries who agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions on you set
forth  herein,  (iv)  transfers to an estate-planning trust or similar entity so
long as such entity agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions on you set
forth  herein,  or  (v)  upon  your  death  pursuant to your will or the laws of
descent  and  distribution.

     14.     Additional  Restrictions  on  Transfer.
             --------------------------------------

     (a)     Restrictive  Legend.  The  certificates  representing  the  Option
             -------------------

     (b)     Holdback.   In connection with any Public Sale, you agree to comply
             --------
with  the  terms of any underwriting agreement (or other related agreement) that
is approved by the Board and entered into by the holders of a majority of shares
in  the  Company.

     15.     Sale  of  the  Company.
             ----------------------

     (a)     Consent  to Sale of the Company.  If the Board and the holders of a
             -------------------------------
majority  of  the Company's Common Stock then out-standing approve a Sale of the
Company (including any Qualified Sale of the Company) (the "Approved Sale"), you
                                                            -------------
shall  consent  to  and  raise  no  objections  against the Approved Sale of the
Company.  If the Approved Sale is structured as a sale of stock, you shall agree
to  sell all of your Option Shares and vested rights to acquire Option Shares on
the  terms and conditions approved by the Board and the holders of a majority of
the  Common  Stock  then  outstanding.  If  the Approved Sale is structured as a
merger,  you  shall  approve  the  merger  and  you  hereby  agree  to waive all
dissenters,  approval  or  similar  rights you may have in connection therewith.
You  shall  take  all  necessary  and  desirable  actions in connection with the
consummation  of  any  Approved  Sale  as  reasonably  requested by the Board or
holders  of  a  majority  of  the  Company's  Common  Stock  then  outstanding.

     (b)     Your  obligations  with respect to the Approved Sale are subject to
the  satisfaction  of the following conditions: (i) upon the consummation of the
Approved  Sale,  you  shall  receive the same form of consideration and the same
portion  of  the  aggregate  consideration  that you would have received if such
aggregate  consideration  had  been  distributed  by  the  Company  in  complete
liquidation  pursuant  to  the rights and preferences set forth in the Company's
Certificate  of Incorporation as in effect immediately prior to the consummation
of  the  Approved Sale; (ii) if any other holder of capital stock of the Company
is  given  an  option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received,
you  shall be given the same option; and (iii) you shall be given an opportunity
to  exercise  all Options vested or vesting in connection with the Approved Sale
prior  to  the  consummation thereof and participate in such sale as a holder of
the  Common  Stock  receivable  upon  exercise  of  such  Options.

     (c)     Purchaser  Representative.  If  the  Company  or the holders of the
             -------------------------
Company's  securities  enter  into any negotiation or transaction for which Rule
506  (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the Securities Exchange
Commission  may  be  available  with  respect to such negotiation or transaction
(in-cluding  a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), you shall, at the
request  of  the  Company,  appoint a purchaser repre-sentative (as such term is
defined  in  Rule 501) reasonably acceptable to the Company.  If you appoint the
purchaser  repre-sentative  designated by the Company, the Company shall pay the
fees  of  such  purchaser  representative,  but  if  you  decline to appoint the
purchaser  representative  designated  by  the Company you shall appoint another
purchaser  representative  (reasonably acceptable to the Company), and you shall
be  responsible  for  the  fees  of  the  purchaser representative so appointed.

     (d)     Termination  of  Restrictions.  The provisions of this paragraph 15
             -----------------------------
shall  terminate  with respect to any Option Shares when such Option Shares have
been  sold  in  a  Public  Sale.

     16.     Rule 701 under the Securities Act.  The Company and you acknowledge
             ---------------------------------
and  agree  that this Option is a written contract relating to your compensation
by  the  Company.  The  securities issued or issuable to you hereunder are being
issued  in  reliance  on  the  exemption  from registration provided in Rule 701
promulgated  by  the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
and  are  "restricted  securities"  within  the  meaning  of  Rule 144 under the
Securities Act.  You hereby covenant and agree that you will sell the securities
issued  or issuable hereunder only pursuant to registration under the Securities
Act,  or  pursuant  to  an  exemption  from  registration  available thereunder.

     17.     Remedies.  The  parties hereto (and the Significant Stockholders as
             --------
third-party  beneficiaries) shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this
Agreement  specifically,  to  recover  damages  by  reason  of any breach of any
provision  of  this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their
favor.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that money damages would not be
an  adequate  remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that
any  party hereto (and any Significant Stockholder as a third-party beneficiary)
may,  in  its  sole discretion, apply to any court of law or equity of competent
jurisdiction  for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting
bond  or  other  security)  in  order to enforce or prevent any violation of the
provisions  of  this  Agreement.

<PAGE>

     18.     Amendment.  Except  as  otherwise provided herein, any provision of
             ---------
this  Agreement  may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of
you  and the Company; provided that no provision of paragraph 12, 13, 14, 15, or
17  or  of  this paragraph 18 may be amended or waived without the prior written
consent  of  the  Significant  Stockholders  owning  a majority of the shares of
Common  Stock  held  by  all  Significant Stockholders on a fully diluted basis.

respective  successors  and  permitted  assigns of the parties hereto whether so
expressed  or  not.

     20.     Severability.  Whenever  possible, each provision of this Agreement
             ------------
shall  be  interpreted  in  such  manner  as  to  be  effective  and valid under
applicable  law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited
by  or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder
of  this  Agreement.

21.     Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be executed simultaneously in two or
        ------------
more  counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which
taken  together  shall  constitute  one  and  the  same  Agreement.

     22.     Descriptive  Headings.  The  descriptive headings of this Agreement
             ---------------------
are  inserted  for  convenience  only  and  do  not  constitute  a  part of this
Agreement.

             --------------
questions  concerning  the  relative rights of the Company and its stockholders.
All  other questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of
this  Agreement  shall  be  governed  by  the  internal  law, and not the law of
conflicts,  of  Delaware.
