KITTY HAWK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1997, are unaudited (except
for the December 31, 1997 condensed consolidated balance sheet which was
derived from the Company's audited consolidated balance sheet included in the
aforementioned Form 10-K), but have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1998.
2. ACQUISITION OF THE KALITTA COMPANIES
On November 19, 1997, the Company acquired by merger all of the outstanding
common stock of American International Airways, Inc. ("AIA"), including a 60%
interest in American International Cargo ("AIC"), Kalitta Flying Service, Inc.
("KFS"), Flight One Logistics, Inc. ("FOL"), O. K. Turbines, Inc. ("OKT") and
American International Travel, Inc. ("AIT") (collectively, the "Kalitta
Companies") in exchange for 4,099,150 shares of the Company's common stock
(valued by an independent appraisal at approximately $60.3 million) and $20
million in cash. The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase.
Concurrently with the consummation of the acquisition, the Company closed a
3,000,000 share common stock offering and a $340 million senior secured note
offering. Of the 3,000,000 shares sold in the common stock offering, the
Company sold 2,200,000 shares and certain stockholders of the Company (the
"Selling Stockholders") sold 800,000 shares. Net proceeds to the Company from
the common stock offering were approximately $38.3 million. The Company did not
receive any of the net proceeds from the sale of shares by the Selling
Stockholders.
3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either
asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While
the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does
not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
4. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
130") effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 130
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of financial statements. Because the Company does not
currently have any transactions that give rise to differences between net
income and comprehensive income, SFAS 130 is not expected to have a significant
impact on the Company.
5. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
In November 1997, the Company sold $340 million of 9.95% Senior Secured Notes
due 2004 (the "Notes").
7
<PAGE> 8
Each of the Company's subsidiaries, with the exception of AIC, (collectively,
the "Guarantors") have fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally
guaranteed (the "Guarantees") on a senior basis, the full and prompt
performance of the Company's obligations under the Notes. The Guarantees are
limited to the largest amount that would not render such Guarantees subject to
avoidance under any applicable federal or state fraudulent conveyance or
similar law. The Guarantees rank senior in right of payment to any subordinated
indebtedness and, except with respect to collateral, pari passu with all
existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the
Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
Supplemental financial information is presented for the year ended December
31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998. The Company has not
presented separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the
Guarantors because the Company's management has determined that such
information is not material to
investors. Prior to January 1, 1998, the Company was not required to present
such supplemental financial information.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Acquisition of the Kalitta Companies. On November 19, 1997, the Company
acquired all of the outstanding common stock of American International Airways,
Inc., including a 60% interest in American International Cargo ("AIC"), Kalitta
Flying Service, Inc., Flight One Logistics, Inc., O. K. Turbines, Inc. and
American International Travel, Inc. (collectively, the "Kalitta Companies").
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 include the
results of operations of the Kalitta Companies. The pro forma results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 include the results of the
Kalitta Companies as if they had been acquired as of January 1, 1997. The
historical results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 do
not include the results of operations of the Kalitta Companies.
Revenues. The Company's revenues are derived from three related businesses:
(i) air freight carrier, (ii) air logistics and (iii) maintenance. Air freight
carrier revenues are derived substantially from aircraft, crew, maintenance,
and insurance ("ACMI") contracts and on-demand charters flown with the
Company's aircraft. In addition, revenues from the Company's scheduled
overnight freight service and passenger charter services are also included in
air freight carrier revenues. Air logistics revenues are derived substantially
from on-demand air freight charters arranged by the Company for its customers
utilizing the flight services of third party air freight carriers. With respect
to on- demand charters that are arranged by the Company and flown with its
aircraft, charges to the customer for air transportation are accounted for as
air freight carrier revenues and charges for ground handling and transportation
are accounted for as air logistics revenues. Maintenance revenues are generated
through maintenance performed on engines, airframes and other accessories owned
by third parties.
The principal factors that have contributed to revenue growth over the past
several years have been (i) increases in the Company's fleet through purchases
of aircraft and the acquisition of the Kalitta Companies in November 1997, (ii)
the general U.S. economic expansion and (iii) increased global demand for time
sensitive air freight services.
Costs of Revenues. The principal components of the costs of revenues
attributable to the air freight carrier business consist of the costs for the
maintenance and operation of aircraft, including the salaries of pilots and
maintenance personnel, charges for fuel, insurance and maintenance and
depreciation of engines and airframes. Generally, charges for fuel are only
applicable for the on-demand charters flown by the air freight carrier because
fuel for ACMI contract charters is generally provided by the customer or billed
to the customer on a direct pass-through basis, although the Company absorbs
the cost of fuel in its scheduled freight operations. The principal components
of the costs of revenues attributable to air logistics consist of sub-charter
costs paid to third party air freight carriers and costs paid for ground
handling and transportation. With respect to on-demand charters that are flown
on the Company's aircraft, all related air transportation expenses are
allocated to the air freight carrier business and all related cargo ground
handling and transportation expenses are allocated to the air logistics
business. The principal components of the costs of revenues for maintenance
consist of maintenance personnel salaries and aircraft and engine parts and
supplies.
The Company's gross margins have been substantially higher in its air freight
carrier business (which uses Company aircraft) than in its air logistics
business (which principally uses third party aircraft). In addition, the air
freight carrier business historically has provided a more predictable revenue
base. Accordingly, the Company is continuing to shift its aircraft from
on-demand service to ACMI contracts.
Pro Forma Results of Operations. The following sets forth the unaudited pro
forma consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31,
1997, giving effect to (i) the November 1997 acquisition of the Kalitta
Companies, (ii) the issuance of the Company's 9.95% Senior Secured Notes due
2004 (the "Notes"), (iii) the incurrence of a $45.9 million term loan and (iv)
the September 1997 acquisition of 16 Boeing 727s from the Kalitta Companies,
each as if they occurred on January 1, 1997. This information is presented for
illustrative purposes only
15
<PAGE> 16
and does not purport to present the results of operations of the Company had
these transactions occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily
indicative of the consolidated results of operations which may be expected to
occur in the future.
No pro forma adjustments have been applied to reflect (i) revenues or
operating costs expected to be generated from the two Boeing 747s recently
purchased and to be modified with approximately $56 million of the net proceeds
from the sale of the Notes or (ii) operating efficiencies or cost savings
(other than approximately $1.5 million of insurance savings) expected to result
from the acquisition of the Kalitta Companies. In addition, pro forma results
have not been adjusted to eliminate (i) abnormally high engine maintenance
expenses previously incurred in response to certain Federal Aviation
Administration ("FAA") Airworthiness Directives ("Directives"), (ii) costs
previously incurred to add and maintain flight crews in anticipation of
increased air freight carrier business which had not yet materialized in part
due to delays in acquiring aircraft and (iii) start-up costs previously
incurred to establish the Company's wide-body passenger charter business.

Due to the impact the acquisition of the Kalitta Companies and related
transactions have had on the financial statements and results of operations of
the Company, management has determined that the historical results of
operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 lack meaningful comparibility
to the results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. As a
result, the Company has provided a comparison of the pro forma quarter ended
March 31, 1997 to the quarter ended March 31, 1998, which the Company believes
provides the most relevant and useful information to investors. Other than the
information provided above, no further comparison of the historical results of
operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 to the quarter ended March 31,
1998 is provided herein.

<PAGE> 18
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO PRO FORMA QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
Revenues - Air Freight Carrier. Air freight carrier revenues increased $23.4
million, or 23.3%, to $123.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1998, from
$100.4 million in the pro forma quarter ended March 31, 1997. This increase was
primarily attributable to an increase in the jet aircraft fleet from 63
aircraft at March 31, 1997 to 68 aircraft at March 31, 1998 which permitted an
increase in ACMI contract charters, including passenger charters attributable
to placing two Lockheed L-1011s and two Boeing 747s into revenue service after
March 31, 1997. Air freight carrier on- demand charters, ACMI contract charters
and scheduled operations revenues were $14.7 million, $72.4 million and $36.2
million, or 11.9%, 58.5% and 29.2%, respectively, of total air freight carrier
revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $17.2 million,
$45.8 million and $36.4 million, or 17.2%, 45.6% and 36.2%, respectively, for
the pro forma quarter ended March 31, 1997. Revenues from on-demand charters
flown by Company aircraft for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 decreased 14.4%
from the pro forma prior year period due to aircraft being shifted from
on-demand to ACMI contract charter service, consistent with the Company's
strategy of using more of its fleet in ACMI business which produces relatively
stable revenues. Revenue from the Company's scheduled operations declined $0.2
million in the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the pro forma
quarter ended March 31, 1997 due to increased weather-related downtime. The
Company has also implemented selective price increases for its ACMI contract
charters and scheduled operations.
Revenues - Air Logistics. Air logistics revenues increased $1.6 million, or
12.1%, to $14.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1998, from $13.2 million
in the pro forma quarter ended March 31, 1997. This increase was primarily due
to increased demand for charters that require large aircraft, which generate
greater revenues. The number of trips managed increased slightly from 3,191 in
the pro forma quarter ended March 31, 1997 to 3,219 for the period ended March
31, 1998. Prices for the Company's air logistics services remained relatively
constant.
Revenues - Maintenance and Other. Maintenance and other revenues increased
$2.3 million, or 36.7%, to $8.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
from $6.4 million in the pro forma quarter ended March 31, 1997. This increase
was primarily due to increased third party engine maintenance revenue and to
additional revenues from airframe maintenance performed for a third party.
Costs of Revenues - Air Freight Carrier. Air freight carrier costs of
revenues increased $5.4 million, or 5.1%, to $111.3 million in the quarter
ended March 31, 1998, from $105.9 million in the pro forma quarter ended March
31, 1997. This increase was primarily due to increased fleet size and
operating additional ACMI contract charters. The gross profit margin from the
air freight carrier increased to 10.1% in the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
from a gross loss margin of (5.5)% in the pro forma quarter ended March 31,
1997. This increase in gross margin was a result of (i) lower maintenance
expenses during the period ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the pro forma
quarter ended March 31, 1997 when higher component repairs were required by
several engine-related Directives and (ii) lower average fuel prices in the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1997.
Costs of Revenues - Air Logistics. Air logistics costs of revenues increased
$0.5 million, or 4.3%, to $12.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
from $11.9 million in the pro forma quarter ended March 31, 1997, reflecting an
increased volume of business. The gross profit margin from air logistics
increased to 16.4% in the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from 10.1% in the pro
forma quarter ended March 31, 1997. The increase in gross margin is a result of
directing a larger percentage of on-demand charters to the Company's aircraft
(including aircraft acquired from the Kalitta Companies) rather than to third
party aircraft, which results in a higher gross margin to the Company.
Costs of Revenues - Maintenance and Other. Maintenance and other costs of
revenues increased $2.3 million, or 50.3%, to $6.8 million in the quarter ended
March 31, 1998, from $4.5 million in the pro forma quarter ended March 31,
1997, reflecting an increase in third party maintenance revenues. The gross
profit margin from maintenance decreased to 22.2% in the quarter ended March
31, 1998 from 29.2% in the pro forma quarter ended March 31, 1997. The decrease
in gross margin is a result of higher costs incurred, which the Company was
unable to pass on to customers based on negotiated pricing.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $1 million, or 12.4%, to $9.4 million in the quarter ended March 31,
1998, from $8.4 million in the pro forma quarter ended March 31, 1997. This
increase was primarily due to an increase in support functions and
administrative costs associated with the growth in the aircraft fleet and the
increased volume of business of the air freight carrier in the quarter ended
March 31, 1998. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 6.4% in the quarter ended March 31, 1998, as compared to
7% for the pro forma quarter ended March 31, 1997.
Operating Income. As a result of the above, operating income increased $17.9
million to $7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1998, from an operating
loss of $10.9 million in the pro forma quarter ended March 31, 1997. Operating
income margin increased to 4.7% in the quarter ended March 31, 1998, from a
loss margin of (9.1)% in the pro forma quarter ended March 31, 1997.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $9.7 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998, from $10.1 million for the pro forma quarter ended March
31, 1997, a 4.4% decrease. The decrease was primarily the result of
capitalizing approximately $0.7 million of interest expense in connection with
funds used in the cargo modification of one Boeing 747.
Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit as a percentage of loss before income
taxes increased to 40% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, from 38% for the
pro forma prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the pro forma
results not reflecting the full tax benefit of the net operating loss
carryforwards of the Kalitta Companies due to the uncertainty of the Kalitta
Companies' future ability to realize such net operating loss carry forwards
prior to the Company's acquisition of the Kalitta Companies.
Net Loss. As a result of the above, the Company's net loss decreased to $1.7
million in the quarter ended March 31, 1998, compared to a net loss of $12.2
million in the pro forma quarter ended March 31, 1997. Net loss as a percentage
of total revenues increased to (1.2)% in the quarter ended March 31, 1998, from
(10.1)% in the pro forma prior year period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's capital requirements are primarily for the acquisition and
modification of aircraft, working capital and the expansion and improvement of
maintenance and support facilities. In addition, the Company has, and will
continue to have, capital requirements for the requisite periodic and major
overhaul maintenance checks for its fleet and for debt service. The Company
also has seasonal working capital needs, because it generates higher revenue
and cash flow in the fourth calendar quarter and lower revenue and cash flow in
the first calendar quarter. The Company's cash requirements for maintenance and
working capital (particularly its seasonal requirements) have increased
substantially due to the acquisition of the Kalitta Companies. Funding
requirements have historically been met through internally generated funds,
bank borrowings and aircraft sales and from public and private offerings of
equity and debt securities. From time to time, the Company has entered into
sale/leaseback transactions to acquire aircraft and may do so in the future.
In connection with the acquisition of the Kalitta Companies, the Company sold
2,200,000 shares of Common Stock resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $38.3 million. In addition, the Company issued the Notes,
resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $329.1 million. Of
the approximately $367.4 million of net proceeds, the Company used
approximately $249.8 million to pay off substantially all of the Kalitta
Companies pre- acquisition indebtedness, $33 million to refinance Kitty Hawk's
indebtedness, $39.6 million to acquire two Boeing 747s, $20 million to pay the
cash portion of the consideration for the Kalitta Companies, $16.4 million to
fund a portion of the costs to modify two recently acquired Boeing 747s from
passenger to cargo configuration, $6 million for working capital purposes and
$2.6 million to pay expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition, a new
credit facility and a new term loan.
The Notes provide for semi-annual interest payments of approximately $16.9
million on each May 15 and November 15 and mature in November 2004. The Notes
are secured by a fleet of 30 aircraft, including nine Boeing
19
<PAGE> 20
747s (two of which were purchased in February 1998), eight Lockheed L-1011s and
13 Boeing 727s. The Notes are guaranteed by all of the Company's subsidiaries,
other than AIC.
The Company has a $45.9 million outstanding Term Loan. The Term Loan is due
in quarterly installments of $2.25 million commencing in March 1999, with the
balance of $12.15 million due upon maturity in September 2002. Interest on the
Term Loan accrues at LIBOR plus 3% or a Base Rate plus 1.5%, subject to
reduction. The Base Rate is the higher of the Prime Rate of Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. ("WFB") or the Federal Funds Rate plus .5%. As of March 31, 1998, the
interest rate was 8.63%. The Term Loan is secured by accounts receivable, all
spare parts (including rotables), inventory, intangibles and contract rights,
cash, 16 Boeing 727s and related engines, the stock of each of the Company's
subsidiaries and the Company's 60% interest in AIC. The Term Loan is guaranteed
by all of the Company's subsidiaries, other than AIC.
In addition, to fund ongoing capital requirements, including possible
acquisitions, the Company has entered into a Credit Facility with WFB,
individually and as agent for various lenders. The Credit Facility provides the
Company with up to $100 million in revolving loans (subject to a current
borrowing base limitation of approximately $61.1 million) and is secured by the
same collateral as the Term Loan. The Credit Facility initially bears interest
at LIBOR plus 2.75% or a Base Rate plus 1.25%, subject to adjustment. The Base
Rate is the higher of WFB's Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus .5%.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to borrowing base limitations
based on eligible inventory and accounts receivable. The Credit Facility
matures in November 2002. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had a balance of
$15 million outstanding under the Credit Facility bearing interest at 9.75% and
available borrowings under the Credit Facility of approximately $46.1 million.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility and Term Loan are subject to certain
financial covenants.
Capital expenditures were $61.9 million and $18.0 million for three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Capital expenditures for the first
quarter of 1998 were primarily for the purchase of (i) two Boeing 747s, (ii)
cargo modifications to one Boeing 747 and one Boeing 727, (iii) heavy
maintenance checks on three Boeing 727s, (iv) noise abatement modifications for
three Boeing 727s, (v) engine overhauls, (vi) improvements to new office space
at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and (vii) purchase of rotable
aircraft parts. Capital expenditures for first quarter of 1997 were primarily
for the purchase of (i) two Boeing 727 aircraft, (ii) cargo and noise abatement
modifications for one Boeing 727 aircraft and one DC9-15F aircraft, (iii) two
used JT8-7 jet engines, (iv) leasehold improvements to Boeing 727-200 aircraft,
(v) the lease of the Company's 40,000 square foot headquarters facility and
(vi) major maintenance checks.
During the remainder of 1998, the Company estimates that capital expenditures
will aggregate approximately $93.6 million and that it will make substantial
capital expenditures thereafter. As of March 24, 1998, the Company had acquired
two Boeing 747s for approximately $39.6 million (net of deposits) and
anticipates modifying these aircraft to cargo configuration and having other
work performed at an aggregate cost of approximately $30.7 million. The
acquisition of the Boeing 747s was funded with approximately $39.6 million of
the net proceeds from the Company's November 1997 Note offering. The cargo
conversion will be funded with approximately $16.4 million of the net proceeds
from the Note offering and approximately $14.3 million of internally generated
funds or borrowings under the Credit Facility. Additionally, the Company
anticipates converting one Boeing 727 aircraft from passenger to freighter
configuration during 1998 at a cost of approximately $5 million.
During 1998, the Company anticipates capital expenditures ranging from $27
million to $32 million for noise abatement modifications to Douglas DC-9 and
Boeing 727 aircraft currently owned. The Company's total capital expenditures
for noise abatement modifications for its existing fleet of owned and leased
aircraft is expected to be between $80 million and $90 million. The entire
fleet must be Stage III compliant by the year 2000. In the event more aircraft
are acquired, anticipated capital expenditures for noise abatement
modifications could materially increase.
Service Bulletins and Directives issued under the FAA's "Aging Aircraft"
program or issued on an ad hoc basis cause certain of the Company's aircraft to
be subject to extensive aircraft examinations and require certain of the
Company's aircraft to undergo structural inspections and modifications to
address problems of corrosion and structural fatigue among other things, at
specified times.
20
<PAGE> 21
The Company operates a fleet of 29 Boeing 727s, all of which were previously
converted from passenger configuration to cargo configuration by the
installation of a large cargo door and numerous interior modifications related
to the installation of cargo container handling systems. The FAA has issued a
proposed Directive, which if adopted, would limit the cargo capacity of 28 of
these Boeing 727s until certain modifications are made. The costs to make such
modifications and the amount of revenue that could be lost cannot currently be
estimated. However, the Company believes this Directive will not have a
material adverse effect of the Company. It is possible that additional Service
Bulletins or Directives applicable to the Company's fleet could be issued in
the future. The cost of compliance with such Directives and Service Bulletins
cannot currently be estimated, but could be substantial.
The Company believes that available funds, bank borrowings and cash flows
expected to be generated by operations will be sufficient to meet its
anticipated cash needs for working capital, debt service and capital
expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, if cash generated by
operations is insufficient to satisfy the Company's liquidity requirements, the
Company may sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional
credit facilities. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to sell any additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional
credit facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may sell
additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities at
any time.
YEAR 2000
The Company believes that its computer systems are generally year 2000
compliant. The Company does not yet know whether the computer systems of the
FAA or its customers, suppliers, vendors and air logistics service providers
are generally year 2000 compliant. The Company has begun discussions with its
significant suppliers, customers and financial institutions to ensure that
those parties have appropriate plans to remediate year 2000 issues where their
systems interface with the Company's systems or otherwise impact its operations
and assess the extent to which its operations are vulnerable should those
organizations fail to remediate properly their computer systems.
The Company's comprehensive year 2000 initiative is being managed by a team
of internal staff and outside consultants reporting directly to the Company's
Audit Committee. The team's activities are designed to ensure that there is no
adverse effect on the Company's core business operations and that transactions
with customers, suppliers and financial institutions are fully supported. While
the Company believes its planning efforts will be adequate to address its year
2000 concerns, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies
will be converted on a timely basis and will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company. The cost of the Company's year 2000 initiatives is not expected
to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
SEASONALITY
Certain of the Company's customers engage in seasonal businesses, especially
the U.S. Postal Service and customers in the automotive industry. As a result,
the Company's air freight charter logistics business has historically
experienced its highest quarterly revenues and profitability during the fourth
quarter of the calendar year due to the peak Christmas season activity of the
U.S. Postal Service and during the period from June 1 to November 30 when
production schedules of the automotive industry typically increase.
Consequently, the Company experiences its lowest quarterly revenue and
profitability during the first quarter of the calendar year.

AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS
OF
KITTY HAWK, INC.
A DELAWARE CORPORATION
PREAMBLE
These amended and restated bylaws ("BYLAWS") are subject to, and
governed by, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DELAWARE
CORPORATION LAW") and the certificate of incorporation ("CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION") of Kitty Hawk, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "CORPORATION").
In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of these bylaws and the
mandatory provisions of the Delaware Corporation Law or the provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation, such provisions of the Delaware Corporation Law or
the Certificate of Incorporation, as the case may be, will be controlling.
ARTICLE ONE: OFFICES
1.1 Registered Office and Agent. The registered office and registered
agent of the Corporation shall be as designated from time to time by the
appropriate filing by the Corporation in the office of the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware.
1.2 Other Offices. The Corporation may also have offices at such other
places, both within and without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors
of the Corporation (the "BOARD OF DIRECTORS") may from time to time determine or
as the business of the Corporation may require.
ARTICLE TWO: MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
2.1 Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation shall be held each calendar year on such date and at such time as
shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in
the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice of such
meeting. At such meeting, the stockholders shall elect directors and transact
such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting.
2.2 Special Meeting. A special meeting of the stockholders may be
called by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority
of the members of the Classified Directors (as defined in Section 3.2 hereof)
then serving, by the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, or by
any holder or holders of record of at least 25% of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote on any matter for which
the respective special meeting is being called. A special meeting shall be held
on such date and at such time as shall be designated by the person(s) calling
the meeting and stated in the notice of the
<PAGE> 6
meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice of such meeting. Only such
business shall be transacted at a special meeting as may be stated or indicated
in the notice of such meeting given in accordance with these bylaws or in a duly
executed waiver of notice of such meeting.
2.3 Place of Meetings. An annual meeting of stockholders may be held at
any place within or without the State of Delaware designated by the Board of
Directors. A special meeting of stockholders may be held at any place within or
without the State of Delaware designated in the notice of the meeting or a duly
executed waiver of notice of such meeting. Meetings of stockholders shall be
held at the principal office of the Corporation unless another place is
designated for meetings in the manner provided herein.
2.4 Notice. Written or printed notice stating the place, day, and time
of each meeting of the stockholders and, in case of a special meeting, the
purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less
than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, either personally
or by mail, by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer, the Secretary, or the officer or person(s) calling the
meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If such
notice is to be sent by mail, it shall be directed to such stockholder at his
address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, unless he shall have
filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a written request that notices to
him be mailed to some other address, in which case it shall be directed to him
at such other address. Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall not be
required to be given to any stockholder who shall attend such meeting in person
or by proxy and shall not, at the beginning of such meeting, object to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened, or who shall, either before or after the meeting, submit a signed
waiver of notice, in person or by proxy.
2.5 Notice of Stockholder Business; Nomination of Director Candidates.
(a) At annual meetings of the stockholders, only such business shall be
conducted as shall have been brought before the meetings (i) pursuant
to the Corporation's notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of

who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided
for in this Section 2.5, who shall be entitled to vote at such meeting,
and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section
2.5.
(b) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures
set forth in these bylaws shall be eligible to serve as directors.
Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be

a stockholder of record at the time of
- 2 -
<PAGE> 7
giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.5, who shall be
entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting, and who
complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.5.
(c) A stockholder must give timely, written notice to the Secretary of
the Corporation to nominate directors at an annual meeting pursuant to
Section 2.5(b) hereof or to propose business to be brought before an
annual or special meeting pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.5(a)
hereof. To be timely in the case of an annual meeting, a stockholder's
notice must be received at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not more than 180 days nor less than 120 days before the
first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting. To be timely
in the case of a special meeting or in the event that the date of the
annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from such anniversary
date, a stockholder's notice must be received at the principal
executive offices of the Corporation no later than the close of
business on the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which
notice of the meeting date was mailed or public disclosure of the
meeting date was made. For purposes of this Section 2.5(c), "PUBLIC
DISCLOSURE" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the
Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news
service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such stockholder's notice shall
set forth (i) with respect to each matter, if any, that the stockholder
proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the
business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for
conducting such business at the meeting, (ii) with respect to each
person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election
as a director, all information relating to such person (including such
person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a
nominee and to serving as a director) that is required under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (iii) the name and
address, as they appear on the Corporation's records, of the
stockholder proposing such business or nominating such persons (as the
case may be), and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any,
on whose behalf the proposal or nomination is made, (iv) the class and
number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are owned
beneficially and of record by such stockholder of record and by the
beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal or nomination is
made, and (v) any material interest or relationship that such
stockholder of record and/or the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the proposal or nomination is made may respectively have in such
business or with such nominee. At the request of the Board of
Directors, any person nominated for election as a director shall
furnish to the Secretary of the Corporation the information required to
be set forth in a stockholder's notice of nomination which pertains to
the nominee.
- 3 -
<PAGE> 8
(d) Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no
business shall be conducted, and no person shall be nominated to serve
as a director, at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, except
in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.5. The
chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that
business was not properly brought before the meeting, or that a
nomination was not made, in accordance with the procedures prescribed
by these bylaws and, if he shall so determine, he shall so declare to
the meeting, and any such business not properly brought before the
meeting shall not be transacted and any defective nomination shall be
disregarded. A stockholder shall also comply with all applicable
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set
forth in this Section 2.5.
2.6 Voting List. At least 10 days before each meeting of stockholders,
the Secretary or other officer of the Corporation who has charge of the
Corporation's stock ledger, either directly or through another officer appointed
by him or through a transfer agent appointed by the Board of Directors, shall
prepare a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote thereat, arranged in
alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and number of
shares of capital stock registered in the name of each stockholder. For a period
of 10 days prior to such meeting, such list shall be kept on file at a place
within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified
in the notice of meeting or a duly executed waiver of notice of such meeting or,
if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held and shall be
open to examination by any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting,
during ordinary business hours. Such list shall be produced at such meeting and
kept at the meeting at all times during such meeting and may be inspected by any
stockholder who is present.
2.7 Quorum. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
capital stock entitled to vote on a matter, present in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders, except as otherwise provided
by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these bylaws. If a quorum shall not
be present, in person or by proxy, at any meeting of stockholders, the
stockholders entitled to vote thereat who are present, in person or by proxy
(or, if no stockholder entitled to vote is present, any officer of the
Corporation), may adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other
than announcement at the meeting (unless the Board of Directors, after such
adjournment, fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting), until a quorum
shall be present, in person or by proxy. At any adjourned meeting at which a
quorum shall be present, in person or by proxy, any business may be transacted
which may have been transacted at the original meeting had a quorum been
present; provided that, if the adjournment is for more than 30 days or if after
the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice
of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled
to vote at the adjourned meeting.
- 4 -
<PAGE> 9
2.8 Required Vote; Withdrawal of Quorum. When a quorum is present at
any meeting, the vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding
shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereat who are present, in person or
by proxy, shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the
question is one on which, by express provision of law, the Certificate of
Incorporation, or these bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such
express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question;
provided, however, that the vote of the holders of a plurality of the
outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote in the election of
directors who are present, in person or by proxy, shall be required to effect
elections of directors. The stockholders present at a duly constituted meeting
may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the
withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
2.9 Method of Voting; Proxies. Except as otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation or by law, each outstanding share of capital stock,
regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a
vote at a meeting of stockholders. Elections of directors need not be by written
ballot. At any meeting of stockholders, every stockholder having the right to
vote may vote either in person or by a proxy executed in writing by the
stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Each such proxy shall be
filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the
meeting. No proxy shall be valid after three years from the date of its
execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. If no date is stated in a
proxy, such proxy shall be presumed to have been executed on the date of the
meeting at which it is to be voted. Each proxy shall be revocable unless
expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest
sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power or unless otherwise made
irrevocable by law.
2.10 Record Date. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled
(a) to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment
thereof, (b) to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or

and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count, and tabulate
all votes, ballots, or consents, determine the results, and do such acts as are
proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. On
request of the chairman of the meeting, the inspectors shall make a report in
writing of any challenge, request, or matter determined by them and shall
execute a certificate of any fact found by them. No director or candidate for

ARTICLE THREE: DIRECTORS
3.1 Management. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be
managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.
- 6 -
<PAGE> 11
3.2 Number; Qualification; Election; Term. The Board of Directors shall
consist of no less than one director (plus such number of directors as may be
elected from time to time pursuant to the terms of any series of preferred stock
that may be issued and outstanding from time to time). Subject to the preceding
sentence, the number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of
Directors shall from time to time be fixed and determined by resolution adopted
by the Board of Directors. The directors of the Corporation (exclusive of
directors who are elected pursuant to the terms of, and serve as representatives
of the holders of, any series of preferred stock of the Corporation) shall be
referred to herein as "CLASSIFIED DIRECTORS" and shall be divided into three
classes, with the first class referred to herein as "CLASS 1," the second class
as "CLASS 2," and the third class as "CLASS 3." If the total number of
Classified Directors equals a number divisible by three, then the number of
directors in each of Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 shall be that number of
directors equal to the total number of directors divided by three. If, however,
the total number of Classified Directors equals a number that is not divisible
by three, each such class of directors shall consist of that number of directors
as nearly equal in number as possible to the total number of directors divided
by three, as determined by the Board of Directors in advance of each respective
election of directors by holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation
then entitled to vote in such election. The term of office of the initial Class
1 directors shall expire at the 1995 annual meeting of stockholders, the term of
office of the initial Class 2 directors shall expire at the 1996 annual meeting
of stockholders and the term of office of the initial Class 3 directors shall
expire at the 1997 annual meeting of stockholders, with each director to hold
office until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. At each
annual meeting of stockholders, commencing with the 1995 annual meeting,
directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms then expire shall be
elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of
stockholders after their election, with each director to hold office until his
successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more
classes or series of preferred stock issued by the Corporation shall have the
right, voting separately by series or by class (excluding holders of common
stock), to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the
election, term of office, filling of vacancies, and other features of such
directorships shall be governed by the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation
(including any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that designates a
series of preferred stock), and such directors so elected by the holders of
preferred stock shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Section 3.2
unless expressly provided by the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation.
3.3 Change in Number. No decrease in the number of directors
constituting the entire Board of Directors shall have the effect of shortening
the term of any incumbent director.
- 7 -
<PAGE> 12
3.4 Vacancies. Any or all Classified Directors may be removed for cause
at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, upon the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of each class of capital
stock then entitled to vote in person or by proxy at an election of such
Classified Directors, provided that notice of the intention to act upon such
matter shall have been given in the notice calling such meeting. Newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors
and any vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors caused by death,
resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other termination from
office of any directors may be filled by the vote of a majority of the directors
then in office, though less than a quorum, or by the affirmative vote, at a
special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of filling such
directorship, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital
stock then entitled to vote in person or by proxy at such meeting. Each
successor director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the
class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his respective
successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Any newly created or
eliminated directorships resulting from an increase or decrease in the
authorized number of directors shall be appointed or allocated by the Board of
Directors among the three classes of directors so as to maintain such classes as
nearly equal in number as possible.
3.5 Meetings of Directors. The directors may hold their meetings and
may have an office and keep the records of the Corporation, except as otherwise
provided by law, in such place or places within or without the State of Delaware
as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or as shall be
specified in the notice of such meeting or duly executed waiver of notice of
such meeting.
3.6 First Meeting. Each newly elected Board of Directors may hold its
first meeting for the purpose of organization and the transaction of business,
if a quorum is present, immediately after and at the same place as the annual
meeting of stockholders, and no notice of such meeting shall be necessary.
3.7 Election of Officers. At the first meeting of the Board of
Directors after each annual meeting of stockholders at which a quorum shall be
present, the Board of Directors shall elect the officers of the Corporation.

be held whenever called by the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer, or any director.
3.10 Notice. The Secretary shall give notice of each special meeting to

need not
- 8 -
<PAGE> 13
be given to any director who, either before or after the meeting, submits a
signed waiver of notice or who shall attend such meeting without protesting,
prior to or at its commencement, the lack of notice to him. The purpose of any
special meeting shall be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such
meeting.
3.11 Quorum; Majority Vote. At all meetings of the Board of Directors,
a majority of the directors fixed in the manner provided in these bylaws shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If at any meeting of the
Board of Directors there is less than a quorum present, a majority of those
present or any director solely present may adjourn the meeting from time to time
without further notice. Unless the act of a greater number is required by law,
the Certificate of Incorporation, or these bylaws, the act of a majority of the
directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is in attendance shall be the
act of the Board of Directors. At any time that the Certificate of Incorporation
provides that directors elected by the holders of a class or series of stock
shall have more or less than one vote per director on any matter, every
reference in these bylaws to a majority or other proportion of directors shall
refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of such directors.
3.12 Procedure. At meetings of the Board of Directors, business shall
be transacted in such order as from time to time the Board of Directors may
determine. The Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, if such office
has been filled, and, if such office has not been filled or if the Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer is absent or otherwise unable to act, the
President shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors. In the
absence or inability to act of such officers, a chairman shall be chosen by the
Board of Directors from among the directors present. The Secretary of the
Corporation shall act as the secretary of each meeting of the Board of Directors
unless the Board of Directors appoints another person to act as secretary of the
meeting. The Board of Directors shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings
which shall be placed in the minute book of the Corporation.
3.13 Presumption of Assent. A director of the Corporation who is
present at the meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on any
corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action
unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he
shall file his written dissent to such action with the person acting as
secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward any
dissent by certified or registered mail to the Secretary of the Corporation
immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall
not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.
3.14 Compensation. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to
fix the compensation, including fees and reimbursement of expenses, paid to
directors for attendance at regular or special meetings of the Board of
Directors or any committee thereof; provided, that nothing contained herein

compensation therefor.

any time to fill vacancies in, to change the membership of, and to discharge any

designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee. Any such
alternate member may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of
the committee. If no alternate committee members have been so appointed to a
committee or each such alternate committee member is absent or disqualified, the
member or members of such committee present at any meeting and not disqualified
from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously
appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the
place of any such absent or disqualified member.
4.6 Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of any committee may be held

of any committee, a majority of the members present may adjourn the meeting from
time to time, without notice other than an announcement at the meeting, until a
quorum is present. The act of a majority of the members present at any meeting
at which a quorum is in attendance shall be the act of a committee, unless the
act of a greater number is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or
these bylaws.
4.9 Minutes. Each committee shall cause minutes of its proceedings to
be prepared and shall report the same to the Board of Directors upon the request
of the Board of Directors. The minutes of the proceedings of each committee
shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation for placement in the
minute books of the Corporation.

Directors, be allowed a fixed sum and expenses of attendance, if any, for
attending any committee meetings or a stated salary.

delegation of authority to it shall not operate to relieve the Board of
Directors or any director of any responsibility imposed upon it or such director
by law.

stockholder, director, or committee member of the Corporation by statute, the
Certificate of Incorporation, or these bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing
signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after

for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the
ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
