    PROMISE
      TO PAY.
      AirT,
      Inc.; Mountain Air Cargo, Inc.; MAC Aviation Services, LLC; Global Ground
      Support, LLC; and CSA Air, Inc. (“Borrower”) jointly and severally promise to
      pay to Bank of America, N.A. (“Lender”), or order, in lawful money of the United
      States of America, the principal amount of Eight Million & 00/100 Dollars
      ($8,000,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on
      the
      unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be
      calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each
      advance.

     

    PAYMENT.
      Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus
      all
      accrued unpaid interest on August 31, 2007. In addition, Borrower will pay
      regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment
      date, beginning January 31, 2006, with all subsequent interest payments to
      be
      due on the last day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or
      required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid
      interest; then to principal; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid
      collection costs. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a
      365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over
      a
      year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied
      by
      the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will
      pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may
      designate in writing.

     

    VARIABLE
      INTEREST RATE.
      The
      interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on
      changes in an independent index which is the “LIBOR Daily Floating Rate” which
      is the fluctuating rate of interest equal to the rate per annum equal to the
      British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (“BBA LIBOR”), as published by Reuters
      (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as
      selected by Lender from time to time) as determined for each banking day at
      approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) business days prior to the date
      in
      question, for U.S. Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such
      interest period) with a one month term, as adjusted from time to time in
      Lender’s sole discretion for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment
      rates and other regulatory costs. If such rate is not available at such time
      for
      any reason, then the rate for that interest period will be determined by such
      alternate method as reasonably selected by Lender ( the “Index”). The Index is
      not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index
      becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a
      substitute Index after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current
      Index rate upon Borrower’s request. The Interest rate change will not occur more
      often than each date of such change in the Index. Borrower understands that
      Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate to be
      applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be at a rate of 1.370
      percentage points over the Index. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the
      interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable
      law.

     

    PREPAYMENT.
      Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier
      than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing,
      relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments of
      accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal
      balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full,”
“without recourse,” or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment,
      Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and
      Borrower will remain obligated to pay further amount owed to Lender. All written
      communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment
      instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the
      amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as
      full
      satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Bank of
      America, N.A., NC1-014-13-05, P.O. Box 30120, Charlotte, NC
      28254-3693.

     

    LATE
      CHARGE.
      If a
      payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 4.000% of the unpaid
      portion of the regularly scheduled payment. This late charge shall be paid
      to
      Lender by Borrower to compensate Lender for Lender’s extra costs and expenses
      caused by the late payment.

     

    INTEREST
      AFTER DEFAULT.
      Upon
      default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at is option
      may,
      if permitted under applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this
      Note to 7.370 percentage points over the Index. The interest rate will not
      exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

     

    DEFAULT.
      Each of
      the following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under
      this Note:

     

    Payment
      Default.
      Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.

     

    Other
      Defaults.
      Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant
      or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to

      in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

     

    Default
      in Favor of Third Parties.

      agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of
      any
      other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower’s property
      or Borrower’s ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower’s obligations under
      this Note or any of the related documents.

     

    False
      Statements.
      Any
      warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower
      or
      on Borrower’s behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or
      misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished
      or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

     

    Insolvency.

      dissolution or termination of Borrower’s existence as a going business, the
      insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower’s

      loan.
      This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit
      accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there
      is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of
      the
      claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if
      Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding
      and deposits with lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture
      proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being
      an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

      the preceding events occurs with respect to any guarantor, endorser, surety,

    LENDER’S
      RIGHTS.
      Upon
      default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance on this Note
      and
      all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that
      amount.

     

    ATTORNEYS’
      FEES; EXPENSES.
      Lender
      may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not
      pay.
      Borrower will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits
      under
      applicable law, Lender’s attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal expenses, whether or
      not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys’ fees, expenses for bankruptcy
      proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay of
      injunction), and appeals. If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also
      will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by
      law.

     

    GOVERNING
      LAW.
      This
      Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent
      not
      preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of North Carolina without regard
      to its conflicts of law provisions. This Note has been accepted by Lender in
      the
      State of North Carolina.

     

    CHOICE
      OF VENUE.
      If
      there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender’s request to submit to the
      jurisdiction of the courts of any County, State of North Carolina.

     

    RIGHT
      OF SETOFF.
      To the
      extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all
      Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other
      account). This includes all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However,
      this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for
      which
      setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent
      permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the debt
      against any and all such accounts.

     

    LINE
      OF CREDIT.
      This
      Note evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances under the Note, as well
      as
      directions for payment from Borrower’s accounts, may be requested orally or in
      writing by Borrower or by an authorized person. Lender may, but need not,
      require that all oral requests be confirmed in writing. Borrower agrees to
      be
      liable for all sums either: (A) advanced in accordance with the
      instructions of an authorized person or (B) credited to any of Borrower’s
      accounts with Lender. The unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any
      time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lender’s internal
      records, including daily computer print-outs. Lender will have no obligation
      to
      advance funds under this Note if: (A) Borrower or any guarantor is in
      default under the terms of this Note or any agreement that Borrower or any
      guarantor has with Lender, including any agreement made in connection with
      the
      signing of this Note; (B) Borrower or any guarantor ceases doing business
      or is insolvent; (C) any guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to
      limit, modify or revoke such guarantor’s guarantee of this Note or any other
      loan with Lender; (D) Borrower has applied funds provided pursuant to this
      Note for purposes other than those authorized by Lender; or (E) Lender in
      good faith believes itself insecure.

     

    ARBITRATION.
      (a) This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims
      between the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including
      but not limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to:
      (i) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications);
      or (ii) any document related to this agreement (collectively a “Claim”).
      For the purposes of this arbitration provision only, the term “parties” shall
      include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender involved
      in
      the servicing, management or administration of any obligation described or
      evidenced by this agreement.

     

    	(b)  	
            At
              the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim shall be resolved
              by
              binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act
              (Title
              9, U.S. Code) (the “Act”). The Act will apply even though this agreement
              provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state. The
              arbitration will take place on an individual basis without resort to
              any
              form of class action.

          

     

    	(c)  	
            Arbitration
              proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the
              then-current rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial
              services disputes of the American Arbitration Association or any successor
              thereof (“AAA”), and the terms of this paragraph. In the event of any
              inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control. If AAA is
              unwilling or unable to (i) serve as the provider of arbitration or
              (ii) enforce any provision of this arbitration clause, any party to
              this agreement may substitute another arbitration organization with
              similar procedures to serve as the provider of
              arbitration.

          

     

    	(d)  	
            The
              arbitration shall be administered by AAA and conducted, unless otherwise
              required by law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal
              property collateral for this credit is located or if there is no such
              collateral, in the state specified in the governing law section of
              this
              agreement. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however,
              if
              Claims exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of
              any
              party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration
              hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for
              arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the
              award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days
              of the
              close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of
              good
              cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional
              sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written
              statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted
              to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed, judgment entered
              and
              enforced.

          

     

    	(e)  	
            The
              arbitrator(s) will give effect to statutes of limitation in determining
              any Claim and may dismiss the arbitration on the basis that the Claim
              is
              barred. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations,
              the
              service on AAA under applicable AAA rules of a notice of Claim is the
              equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this
              arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined
              by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award
              legal fees pursuant to the terms of this
              agreement.

          

     

    	(f)  	
            This
              paragraph does not limit the right of any party to: (i) exercise
              self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate
              judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property
              collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or
              (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but
              not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment
              of a
              receiver, or additional or supplementary
              remedies.

          

     

    	(g)  	
            The
              filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of
              the
              right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require
              submittal of the Claim to arbitration.

          

     

    ASSIGNMENT.
      Lender
      may sell or offer to sell this Note, together with any and all documents
      guaranteeing, securing or executed in connection with this Note, to one or
      more
      assignees without notice to or consent of Borrower. Lender is hereby authorized
      to share any information it has pertaining to the loan evidenced by this Note,
      including without limitation credit information on the undersigned, any of
      its
      principles, or any guarantors of this Note, to any such assignee or prospective
      assignee.

     

    COUNTERPARTS.
      This
      Note may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so
      executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together
      shall
      constitute one and the same agreement.

     

    PRE
      BILLING.
      If the
      Borrower and Lender elect to use pre-billing calculation, for each payment
      date
      (the “Due Date”) the amount of each payment debit will be determined as follows:
      On the “Billing Date” Lender will prepare and mail to Borrower an invoice of the
      amounts that will be due on that Due Date (“Billed Amount”). (The “Billing Date”
will be a date that is a specified number of calendar days prior to the Due
      Date, which number of days will be mutually agreed from time to time by Lender
      and Borrower.) The calculation of the Billed Amount will be made on the
      assumption that no new extensions of credit or payments will be made between
      the
      Billing Date and the Due Date, and that there will be no changes in the
      applicable interest rate. On the Due Date Lender will debit the Designated
      Account for the Billed Amount, regardless of the actual amount due on that
      date
      (“Accrued Amount”). If the Due Date does not fall on a Business Day, Lender
      shall debit the Designated Account on the first Business Day following the
      Due
      Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means a day other than
      Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close
      or are in fact closed in the state where the Lender’s lending office is located.
      If the Billed Amount debited to the Designated Account differs from the Accrued
      Amount, the difference will be treated as follows: If the Billed Amount is
      less
      than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will
      be
      increased by the amount of the underpayment. Borrower will not be in default
      by
      reason of any such underpayment. If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued
      Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be decreased by the
      amount of the overpayment. Regardless of any such difference, interest will
      continue to accrue based on the actual amount of principal outstanding without
      compounding. Lender will not pay interest on any overpayment.

     

    AUTOMATIC
      PAYMENTS.
      Borrower hereby authorizes Lender automatically to deduct from Borrower’s
      account numbered 510028053
      the
      amount of any loan payment. If the funds in the account are insufficient to
      cover any payment, Lender shall not be obligated to advance funds to cover
      the
      payment. At any time and for any reason, Borrower or Lender may voluntarily
      terminate Automatic Payments.

     

    TERMINATION
      OF AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS.
      In the
      event that Borrower terminates the Automatic Payment arrangement with Lender,
      Borrower agrees that the interest rate under the Note will increase, at the
      discretion of the Lender, by one-half percentage point (0.50%) per annum over
      the rate of interest stated in the Note, and the amount of each interest
      installment will be increased accordingly. The effective rate of interest under
      the Note shall not in any event exceed the maximum rate permitted by
      law.

     

    OPTIONAL
      RENEWAL CLAUSE.
      This
      Note will be considered renewed if and only if Lender has sent to Borrower
      a
      written notice of renewal (the “Renewal Notice”) effective as of the Expiration
      Date. If this Note is renewed, it will continue to be subject to all the terms
      and conditions set forth herein except as modified by the Renewal Notice. If
      this Note is renewed, the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the date set forth
      in the Renewal Notice as the Expiration Date, and all outstanding principal
      plus

      WHEREAS  Seller  and  Buyer  entered  into  a  certain
Purchase Agreement dated May 21, 2003 covering real property

      WHEREAS by First Amendment to Purchase Agreement dated

     WHEREAS  Buyer and Seller desire to further  amend  the

Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00);

      NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the sum of
ten  and  00/100 Dollars ($10.00) the terms, conditions  and
mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and  other
good  and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency
