"Inventory Purchase Agreement") dated September 20, 2000 among KAV Inventory,
LLC ("KAV"), Aviation Sales Company ("AVS") and Aviation Sales Distribution
Services Company (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used herein but not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Inventory
Purchase Agreement.

         For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agree that the Inventory Purchase
Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

         1.       The definition of "Purchased Inventory" is hereby amended to
                  exclude, and the term "Excluded Assets" is hereby amended to
                  include:

                           (a) the inventory of the Company described on
                  Supplemental Schedule 2.1(b) attached hereto, constituting
                  inventory subject to the agreements set forth on Supplemental
                  Schedule 2.1(b) to which the Company is a party (collectively,
                  the "Special Consigned Inventory"); and

                           (b) the aircraft engines set forth on Supplemental
                  Schedule 2.1(b)-1 attached hereto.

                  The Company shall at Closing consign the Special Consigned
                  Inventory to Kellstrom pursuant to the form of Inventory
                  Consignment Agreement attached to the Cooperation Agreement as
                  Exhibit B (the "Special Consigned Inventory Consignment
                  Agreement").

         2.       The penultimate sentence of Section 2.3 of the Inventory
                  Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

<PAGE>

                  "The Purchase Price shall be an amount equal to eighty-nine
                  percent (89%) of the Adjusted Book Value (as hereinafter
                  defined) of the Purchased Inventory as of the Closing Date."

         3.       Section 2.4 of the Inventory Purchase Agreement shall be
                  amended by deleting subsection (ii)(b) therefrom and
                  substituting the following therefor:

                  "(b) Thirteen Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars
                  ($13,700,000.00)."

         4.       The parties acknowledge that the Borrower Letter of Credit
                  referenced in Exhibit J to the Inventory Purchase Agreement
                  shall equal Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
                  ($6,500,000.00) in the case of Kellstrom and Eight Million
                  Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($8,500,000.00) in the case of
                  AVS, and any draws under such letters of credit shall be made
                  based on the proportion that each of their initial letter of
                  credit amounts bears to Fifteen Million Dollars
                  ($15,000,000.00).

         5.       If, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date the agent
                  under the Senior Credit Facility shall not have received from
                  the Company a fully executed bailee acknowledgment agreement
                  in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5-1 with

                  and repaid to the lenders in accordance with Section
                  2.5(d)(i), and (ii) the notes referenced in Section 2.5(d)
                  shall be issued to the relevant parties. The foregoing shall
                  not supercede the application of the provisions of Section
                  2.5(d) with respect to the Actual Purchase Price adjustment
                  contemplated by Section 2.5.

         6.       Section 2.8 is hereby amended to add the following sentence at
                  the end thereof:

                  "The Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at 12:01 a.m.,
                  Fort Lauderdale, Florida time on the day that the Estimated
                  Purchase Price is paid."
