Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice
Ladies and Gentlemen:
American AAdvantage Funds (the "Trust") is a business trust organized
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We understand that the
Trust is about to file a Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), for the purpose of making
definite the number of shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") that it has
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and
that it sold during its fiscal year ended October 31, 1996.
We have, as counsel, participated in various business and other matters
relating to the Trust. We have examined copies, either certified or otherwise
proved to be genuine, of its Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust
("Declaration of Trust") and By-Laws, as now in effect, and we generally are
familiar with its business affairs. Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion
that the Shares sold during the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996, the
registration of which will be made definite by the filing of a Rule 24f-2
Notice, were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. We express no
opinion as to compliance with the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act or applicable state
securities laws in connection with the sales of Shares.
The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts
business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the Trust. The
Declaration of Trust states that creditors of, contractors with and claimants
against the Trust shall look only to the assets of the Trust for payment. It
also requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each contract or
instrument made or issued by the officers or the Trustees of the Trust on behalf
of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust further provides: (i) for the Trust to
indemnify and hold each shareholder harmless from Trust assets for all loss and
expense of any shareholder held personally liable for

Page 2
the obligations of the Trust by virtue of ownership of Shares of the Trust; and
(ii) for the Trust to assume the defense of any claim against the shareholder
for any act or obligation of the Trust. Thus, the risk of a shareholder
incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to
circumstances in which the Trust would be unable to meet its obligations.
We hereby consent to this opinion accompanying the Rule 24f-2 Notice
that you are about to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We also
consent to the reference to our firm in the prospectus filed as part of the
Trust's registration statement.
Very truly yours,
KIRKPATRICK & LOCKHART LLP
