Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

    On September 18, 1997, WorldCorp, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("WorldCorp"), consummated the sale of 3,227,000
shares (the "Shares") of common stock of World Airways, Inc.
("World Airways") to World Airways.  The Shares were purchased by
World Airways for total consideration of $24.7 million or $7.65
per Share.  $15 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the
Shares were used to retire a senior secured bank note, and the
balance of proceeds were added to WorldCorp's working capital. 
Subsequent to this sale, WorldCorp owns 3,702,000 Shares of the
common stock of World Airways, or 46% of World Airways.

     A copy of the press release announcing the completion of the
sale of the Shares is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information
and Exhibits.

     (a) Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired

          Not Applicable

     (b) Pro Forma Financial Information

   On August 26, 1997, World Airways completed a private
offering, issuing $50.0 million of 8% convertible senior
subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") due in 2004 (the
"Offering").  The Debentures are unsecured obligations,
convertible into shares of World Airways common stock, at a
conversion price of $8.90 per share, and subordinated to all
present and future senior indebtedness of World Airways.  Net
proceeds from the Offering approximated $48.5 million and would
be used by World Airways to: 1) repurchase approximately 4.0
million shares of its common stock, 2) repay approximately $4.0
million of certain indebtedness, and 3) increase its working
capital for general corporate purposes. The Company's portion of
Offering expenses approximated $1.0 million. 

   On September 18, 1997, World Airways repurchased 3,227,000
shares of its common stock from the Company, its largest
shareholder, for approximately $24.7 million (the "Repurchase"). 
Under the terms of the Offering, World Airways must repurchase at
least 4.0 million shares of its common stock within 150 days
after the sale of the Debentures.  As a result, an additional
773,000 shares of common stock must be repurchased by January
1998 and may be repurchased from the Company or other
shareholders.  No assurances, however, can be given with respect
to the eventual outcome of future share repurchases.  Upon
receipt of its proceeds from the sale of common stock to World
Airways, the Company used approximately $15.0 million to repay an
outstanding obligation to a financial institution.

   The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial
information gives effect to the Repurchase and the necessary
adjustments for WorldCorp using the equity method.  Prior to the
Repurchase, WorldCorp owned approximately 62% of World Airways
and accounted for World Airways as a consolidated subsidiary.  As
a result of the Repurchase, WorldCorp currently owns
approximately 46% of World Airways and will record its
proportionate share of World Airways' financial results
subsequent to September 18, 1997, using the equity method.

   The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet
has been prepared as if the Offering, the $4.0 million repayment
of indebtedness by World Airways, the Repurchase and the $15.0
million repayment of indebtedness by the Company, were
consummated as of June 30, 1997.  The unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1996 and the six months ended June 30, 1997,
give effect to the Offering, the $4.0 million repayment of
indebtedness by World Airways, the Repurchase and the $15.0
million repayment of indebtedness by the Company, as if each were
completed as of January 1, 1996.  As a result, WorldCorp's pro
forma statement of operations includes World Airways' results for
each period under the equity method of accounting.  Such
statements of operations do not include the pre-tax estimated
gain on sale of stock by WorldCorp of approximately $9.3 million
which will be recorded by the Company as a result of the
Repurchase in the third quarter.  However, such statements do
reflect adjustments for the elimination of historical
transactions between WorldCorp and World Airways and related
income tax effects.  This method of combining historical
financial statements for the preparation of the pro forma
condensed consolidated financial information is for presentation
only.

Footnotes:

(a)  The pro forma equity method adjustments were made to the
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information
to record WorldCorp's proportionate share of World Airways' net
assets and financial results under the equity method, as a result

from approximately 62% to approximately 46% due to the
Repurchase.  Prior to the Repurchase, the Company accounted for
World Airways as a consolidated subsidiary.

(b)  The pro forma adjustments were made to the unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated financial information to give effect
to the cash received and the reduction in the Company's
investment in World Airways as a result of the Repurchase and the
Company's share of the Offering's expenses which approximated
$1.0 million.

(c)  The pro forma adjustments were made to the unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated financial information to give effect
to the Company's use of a portion of the proceeds received from
the Repurchase to repay an outstanding obligation to a
financial institution for approximately $15.0 million and the
resulting reduction in interest expense.

(d)  Reflects the estimated gain on the sale of the World Airways
Shares by WorldCorp.

(e)  Reflects the pro forma adjustments to World Airways
operating results as a result of the Offering (primarily
additional interest expense) and the adjustment to WorldCorp's
