       consortium of banks to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The
       loan is a floating rate loan which is non-recourse to the Company,
       bearing interest at one month LIBOR plus 1.75% and maturing in
       November 1994.  The loan was obtained to temporarily finance the
       acquisition of an aircraft from McDonnell Douglas Corporation.
