During 2009, we repurchased $217.1 million and $124.6 million of our senior fixed rate notes and senior PIK-election notes, respectively, and $154.9 million of our senior subordinated notes. We refer to the senior fixed rate notes and the senior PIK-election notes as the “senior notes” and we refer to the senior notes and the senior subordinated notes collectively as the “notes”.

We will pay interest on the notes on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

After April 1, 2011 we must pay all interest payments on the senior PIK-election notes in cash. The senior notes will mature on April 1, 2015 and the senior subordinated notes will mature on April 1, 2017. We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the senior fixed rate notes or the senior PIK-election notes at any time on or after April 1, 2011 and all or a portion of the senior subordinated notes at any time on or after April 1, 2012, in each case at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus.

In addition, at any time prior to April 1, 2012, we may redeem some or all of the senior subordinated notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior subordinated notes plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, as described in this prospectus. If we undergo certain changes of control, each holder of the notes may require us to repurchase all or a part of that holder’s notes.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

As used in this prospectus, unless the context indicates otherwise:

•

The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” “Successor” and “Hawker Beechcraft” refer to Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC (“HBAC”) and its subsidiaries.

•

“HBI” refers to Hawker Beechcraft, Inc., the direct parent company of HBAC.

•

“Raytheon” refers to Raytheon Company. “RA” or “Raytheon Aircraft” refers to certain subsidiaries of Raytheon which made up essentially the business acquired by HBI. RA is also referred to as the “Predecessor” in certain sections of this prospectus. Raytheon was the Predecessor’s parent company.

•

“Acquisition” refers to, collectively, the acquisition of the membership interests of Raytheon Aircraft Acquisition Company LLC (later renamed Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC) and substantially all the assets of Raytheon Aircraft Services Limited from Raytheon, together with the financing provided by the proceeds from the offering of the notes, borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities and equity contributions to HBI by affiliates of the Equity Sponsors and certain members of management.

Although HBNC is a co-issuer of the notes, we do not expect HBNC to have any operations, assets or revenues. Additionally, HBNC may be dissolved in the event of a future conversion of HBAC into a corporation.

The financial statements included in this prospectus for periods prior to the Acquisition represent the historical consolidated financial statements of RA. The RA consolidated financial statements include allocations, and estimates which RA management believed were reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. These allocations and estimates may not necessarily reflect the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented had these subsidiaries been operated as a stand-alone entity for such periods. The financial statements included in this prospectus for periods after the Acquisition represent the consolidated financial statements of Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC and its subsidiaries.

Certain market and industry data included in this prospectus, and our position and the positions of our competitors within these markets, are based on estimates of our management, which are primarily based on our management’s knowledge and experience in the markets in which we operate. Although we believe all of these estimates were reasonably derived, you should not place undue reliance on them as estimates are inherently uncertain. Other market and industry data is derived from information obtained from market research firms, including information published by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (“GAMA”), Forecast International, Inc., the Teal Group and Honeywell Aerospace. While we believe the industry sources used are generally reliable, we have not independently verified data from these sources or obtained third party verification of market share data and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information. Data regarding our industry is intended to provide general guidance but is inherently imprecise. Market share data is subject to change and cannot always be verified with certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data regarding the specific market segments which we serve, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey of market shares. In addition, customer preferences can and do change. As a result, you should be aware that share, market size, relative positions within industry segments and other similar data set forth herein, and estimates and beliefs based on such data, may not be reliable.

In certain parts of this prospectus we state statistics or market positions of certain “families” of aircraft (e.g., the Hawker 987 family refers to the 900, 800/850 and 750 models). In this context, the family of a particular model includes the current type design, its current derivative products and any previous versions of the aircraft produced using the same type design. In the case of the King Air family, it refers to all three current King Air models, their current derivatives and any previous King Air models.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary contains basic information about this offering contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. Before deciding to invest in the notes, we encourage you to read this entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section and the financial data and related notes.

Our Company

Hawker Beechcraft is a world-leading manufacturer of business, special mission and trainer/attack aircraft; designing, marketing and supporting aviation products and services for businesses, governments and individuals worldwide. The Company leads the industry with a global network of more than 100 factory-owned and authorized service centers to support an estimated installed fleet of more than 37,000 aircraft.

Our business was formerly owned by Raytheon. On March 26, 2007, HBI purchased Raytheon Aircraft Acquisition Company, LLC (which has been renamed Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC) and substantially all of the assets of Raytheon Aircraft Services Limited from Raytheon and some of its affiliates. We refer to this transaction when we use the term “Acquisition”. Following the Acquisition, HBI contributed the equity interest of the entity purchasing the assets of Raytheon Aircraft Services Limited to us.

Our Products and Services

We conduct our business through three segments: Business and General Aviation, Trainer/Attack Aircraft and Customer Support. A description of our business segments is set forth below.

Business and General Aviation

Our Business and General Aviation segment designs, develops, manufactures, markets and delivers commercial and specially modified general aviation aircraft. The segment manufactures one of the broadest product lines in the industry, including business jet, turboprop and piston aircraft, under the Hawker^® and Beechcraft^® brands. We believe our extensive product line, as described below, enables us to attract and retain a broad range of corporate, fractional and charter operators and individual customers worldwide. Our Business and General Aviation segment sells aircraft through various distribution channels, including direct single unit retail sales, fleet (multiple units) sales to larger operators and our authorized dealer network. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, sales in the Business and General Aviation segment were approximately 60%, 71%, and 77% of total consolidated sales.

Trainer/Attack Aircraft

Our Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment designs, develops, manufactures, markets and sells military training aircraft and spares. Its customers include the U.S. and foreign governments. The segment manufactures our primary military trainer aircraft, the T-6 Texan II (“T-6”). In 1995, Raytheon Aircraft (RA) was awarded the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy’s Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (“JPATS”) program. Under this program, we continue to be the sole source provider to the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy of their primary military trainer aircraft. Through December 31, 2010, Hawker Beechcraft and RA have delivered 556 trainer aircraft under JPATS contracts, including the 60 T-6B aircraft with upgraded avionics to the U.S. Navy. In addition, HBC has sold and delivered 110 trainer aircraft to international customers, including 4 T-6C aircraft, the most recent variant of the T-6 trainer. We continue to market the T-6 trainer to certain foreign governments and anticipate additional international awards in the near future. International customers made up 20% of the deliveries in 2010.

We continue to invest in the AT-6, the Light Attack aircraft being offered by Hawker Beechcraft. This aircraft offers integrated surveillance equipment, data link and “hard point” wings capable of carrying light attack weapons. The prototype completed its initial flight tests in the fall of 2009 and performed successfully at the U.S. Department of Defense Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment (JEFX) in 2010.

Our Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment also provides training and logistics support and aftermarket parts and services. We expect the U.S. Government to continue to require product support for T-6 trainers through 2050.

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, sales in the Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment were approximately 24%, 17% and 9% of total consolidated sales.

Customer Support

Our Customer Support segment provides parts and maintenance services to our estimated installed fleet of more than 37,000 aircraft. We sell parts from our headquarters in Wichita, Kansas and operate distribution warehouses in Dallas, Texas, London, England, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Singapore. Support services include maintenance, repairs and refurbishment, as well as airframe and avionics modifications and upgrades. Our service and support network consists of the largest number of jet and turboprop service centers in the industry, including 10 company-owned service centers in the United States (U.S.), the United Kingdom and Mexico, as well as more than 100 company-authorized third party service centers in 32 countries. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, sales in the Customer Support segment were approximately 16%, 12% and 14% of total consolidated sales.

The Acquisition

Overview

The Equity Sponsors, GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Onex Partners II LP, formed HBI for purposes of the Acquisition. On March 26, 2007, HBI purchased Raytheon Aircraft Acquisition Company, LLC (which has been renamed Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC) and substantially all of the assets of Raytheon Aircraft Services Limited from Raytheon and certain of its affiliates. The total consideration was $3,216.5 million, net of $6.7 million cash acquired, including certain post-closing purchase price adjustments. The Acquisition was financed with the proceeds from the offering of the notes, borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities and equity contributions to HBI by affiliates of the Equity Sponsors and certain members of management. Following the Acquisition, HBI contributed the equity interest of the entity purchasing the assets of Raytheon Aircraft Services Limited to us.

We and Raytheon made a joint election under section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with the Acquisition, allowing for a step-up in the tax basis of assets acquired, valuing them at fair value as of the date of the Acquisition.

Ranking and Subordination		The senior notes and the related subsidiary guarantees will be our and the guarantors’ unsecured senior obligations. The senior notes and related subsidiary guarantees will rank equally with all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior


		indebtedness, and will be senior to all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior subordinated and subordinated senior subordinated and subordinated indebtedness, including the senior subordinated notes. The senior subordinated notes and the related subsidiary guarantees will be our and the guarantors’ senior subordinated obligations and will be subordinated in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including all borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities and the senior notes, will rank equally with all of our and the guarantors’ senior subordinated indebtedness, and will be senior to all of our and the guarantors’ subordinated indebtedness.

		The notes also will be effectively junior in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ secured indebtedness, including our senior secured credit facilities, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

		The notes will also be effectively junior to the existing and future indebtedness and claims of holders of preferred stock of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

		As of December 31, 2010, we had $1,925.0 million of senior indebtedness comprised of $1,439.5 million of borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities net of unamortized original issue discount (excluding $235.6 million of availability under our revolving credit facility (net of $4.7 million of outstanding letters of credit) and $37.4 million of available issuances under our synthetic letter of credit facility) and $485.5 million of the senior notes.

Original Issue Discount		For any interest period through April 1, 2011, we may elect to pay interest on the senior PIK-election notes in PIK-interest. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the existence of this option means that none of the interest payments on the senior PIK-election notes will be qualified stated interest even if we never exercise the option to pay interest in the form of PIK-interest. Consequently, the senior PIK-election notes will be treated as issued at a discount and U.S. holders of senior PIK-election notes will be required to include original issue discount (“OID”) in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes in advance of the receipt of cash payments on such notes. For more information, see “Material United States Federal Income and Estate Tax Considerations.”

Optional Redemption:

Senior Fixed Rate Notes		We may redeem the senior fixed rate notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 1, 2011 at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus. In addition, at any time prior to April 1, 2011, we may redeem some or all of the senior fixed rate notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior fixed rate notes plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, as described in this prospectus under “Description of Senior Notes—Optional redemption—Senior Fixed Rate Notes.”

Senior PIK-Election Notes		We may redeem the senior PIK-election notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 1, 2011 at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus. In addition, at any time prior to April 1, 2011, we may redeem some or all of the senior PIK-election notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior PIK-election notes plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date as described in this prospectus under “Description of Senior Notes—Optional redemption—Senior PIK-election Notes.”

Senior Subordinated Notes		We may redeem the senior subordinated notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 1, 2012 at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus. In addition, at any time prior to April 1, 2012, we may redeem some or all of the senior subordinated notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior subordinated notes plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, in each case, as described in this prospectus under “Description of Senior Subordinated Notes—Optional redemption.”



Mandatory Offer to Purchase		If we sell certain assets without applying the proceeds in a specified manner, or experience certain change of control events, each holder of senior notes or senior subordinated notes, as applicable, may require us to purchase all or a portion of its notes at the purchase prices set forth in this prospectus, plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the purchase date. See “Description of Senior Notes—Repurchase of Senior Notes at the option of Holders” and “Description of Senior Subordinated Notes—Repurchase of Senior Subordinated Notes at the option of Holders.” Our senior secured credit facilities or other agreements may restrict us from repurchasing any of the notes, including any purchase we may be required to make as a result of a change of control or certain asset sales. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance the change of control offer required by the indentures governing the notes.”

Certain Covenants		The indentures governing the notes contain covenants that impose significant restrictions on our business. The restrictions that these covenants place on us and our restricted subsidiaries include limitations on our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to, among other things:

		• incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock;

		• create liens;

		• pay dividends or make other restricted payments;

		• make investments;

		• sell assets;

		• in the case of the senior notes only, enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

		• create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to us from restricted subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the notes;

		• consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

		• enter into transactions with our affiliates; and

		• designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

		These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications, which are described under “Description of Senior Notes” and “Description of Senior Subordinated Notes.”

Risk Factors		Investment in the notes involves certain risks. You should carefully consider the information in the “Risk Factors” section and all other information included in this prospectus before deciding to invest in the notes.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the notes involves risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before deciding to invest in the notes. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or which we currently consider immaterial also may adversely affect us and your investment. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your original investment.

Risks Related to the Notes and Our Indebtedness

Our substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the notes.

We have substantial indebtedness. As of December 31, 2010, we had $2,129.7 million of total indebtedness, including $59.6 million of short-term notes payable. We also have $37.4 million of letter of credit issuances available under our synthetic letter of credit facility.

Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences, including the following:

•

it may be more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes;

•

our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, debt service requirements, general corporate or other purposes may be impaired;

•

we must use a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay interest and principal on the notes and our other indebtedness, which will reduce the funds available to us for other purposes;

•

we may be vulnerable to economic downturns and adverse industry conditions;

•

our ability to capitalize on business opportunities and to react to pressures and changes in our industry as compared to our competitors may be compromised due to our high level of indebtedness; and

•

our ability to refinance our indebtedness, including the notes, may be limited.

In addition, the borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities bear interest at variable rates and other debt we incur could likewise be variable-rate debt. If market interest rates increase, variable-rate debt will create higher debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our cash flow. While we have entered into agreements designed to limit our exposure to higher interest rates, any such agreements do not offer complete protection from this risk.

Furthermore, prior to the repayment of the notes, we will be required to repay or refinance our senior secured credit facilities and, prior to the repayment of the senior subordinated notes, we will be required to repay or refinance the senior notes. If we were unable to make payments or refinance our debt or obtain new financing under these circumstances, we would have to consider other options, such as:

•

sales of assets;

•

sales of equity; and/or

•

negotiations with our lenders to restructure the applicable debt.

Our senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing the notes may restrict, or market or business conditions may limit, our ability to avail ourselves of some or all of these options.

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility. Our liquidity requirements are significant, primarily due to debt service obligations. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are largely beyond our control.

Despite our current indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt, which could exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

The terms of the indentures governing the notes permit us to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including secured indebtedness. Any senior debt incurred by us would be senior to the senior subordinated notes and, if secured, effectively senior to the senior notes. If we incur any additional indebtedness that ranks equal to either the senior or the senior subordinated notes, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the applicable notes in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of us. If new debt is added to our or our subsidiaries’ current debt levels, the related risks that we now face could intensify.

Our debt instruments, including the indentures governing the notes and our senior secured credit facilities, impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us. If we default under any of these debt instruments, we may not be able to make payments on the notes.

The indentures and our senior secured credit facilities impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit our ability to, among other things:

•

incur additional indebtedness or guarantee obligations;

•

repay indebtedness (including the notes) prior to stated maturities;

•

pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments;

•

make investments or acquisitions;

•

create liens or other encumbrances;

•

transfer or sell certain assets or merge or consolidate with another entity;

•

engage in transactions with affiliates; and

•

engage in certain business activities.

In addition to the restrictions listed above, our revolving credit facility requires us to meet specified financial covenants as of certain dates. Beginning in fiscal year 2011, we are required to maintain a minimum Adjusted EBITDA for specified periods, as further described below under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations – Capital Resources.” Any of these provisions could limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions and could otherwise restrict corporate activities.

Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by events beyond our control, and an adverse development affecting our business could require us to seek waivers or amendments of covenants, alternative or additional sources of financing or reductions in expenditures. We cannot be certain that such waivers, amendments or alternative additional financings could be obtained or, if obtained, would be on terms acceptable to us. In addition, the holders of the senior notes will have no control over any waivers or amendments with respect to any debt outstanding other than the debt contained in the indenture governing the senior notes, and the holders of the senior subordinated notes will have no control over any waivers or amendments with respect to any debt outstanding other than the debt contained in the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes. Therefore, we cannot be certain that even if the holders of the senior notes or senior subordinated notes, as applicable, agree to waive or amend the covenants contained in the respective indenture, the holders of our other debt will agree to do the same with respect to their debt instruments.

A breach of any of the covenants or restrictions contained in any of our existing or future financing agreements could result in a default or an event of default under those agreements. Such a default or event of default could allow the lenders under our financing agreements, if the agreements so provide, to discontinue lending, to accelerate the related debt as well as any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies, and to declare all borrowings outstanding thereunder to be due and payable. In addition, the lenders could terminate any commitments they had made to supply us with further funds. If the lenders require immediate repayments, we may not be able to repay them and also repay the notes in full.

Your right to receive payment on the notes is effectively subordinated to the liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Not all of our subsidiaries guarantee the notes. For example, our foreign subsidiaries, certain immaterial subsidiaries and our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior secured credit facilities do not guarantee the notes. Creditors of our non-guarantor subsidiaries (including trade creditors) will generally be entitled to payment from the assets of those subsidiaries before those assets can be distributed to us. As a result, the notes will effectively be subordinated to the prior payment of all of the debts (including trade payables) of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us. Our subsidiaries that have their debt accelerated may not be able to repay such indebtedness. As of December 31, 2010, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had consolidated total liabilities of approximately $25.7 million, and consolidated total assets of $38.0 million, which represented approximately 1.2% of our and our subsidiaries’ consolidated total assets. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the non-guarantor subsidiaries had consolidated total revenue of $82.2 million, which represented approximately 2.9% of our consolidated total revenue.

Your right to receive payments on the senior notes is effectively subordinated to the rights of our existing and future secured creditors. Further, the guarantees of the senior notes are effectively subordinated to all our guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness.

The lenders under our senior secured credit facilities and any other permitted secured debt will have claims that are prior to the claims of holders of the senior notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing that other indebtedness. Our senior secured credit facilities are secured by liens on substantially all of our assets and the assets of the guarantors, and the senior notes are effectively subordinated to all that secured indebtedness. In the event of any distribution or payment of our assets in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, or other bankruptcy proceeding, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities will have a prior claim to those of our assets that constitute their collateral. Holders of the senior notes will participate ratably with all holders of our unsecured indebtedness that is deemed to be of the same class as the senior notes, and potentially with all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the senior notes. As a result, holders of senior notes may receive less, ratably, than the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities.

Your right to receive payments on the senior subordinated notes are junior to our existing and future senior indebtedness, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities and the senior notes.

The senior subordinated notes and the related guarantees are contractually subordinated to all of our current and future senior indebtedness (other than trade payables), including our borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities and the senior notes, and all of our and the guarantors’ future borrowings (other than trade payables), except any future indebtedness that expressly provides that it ranks equal with, or subordinated in right of payment to, the senior subordinated notes and the related guarantees. As a result of such subordination, in the event of the bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of us or any subsidiary guarantor, our assets or the assets of the applicable subsidiary guarantor would be available to pay obligations under the senior subordinated notes and our other senior subordinated obligations only after all payments had been made on our senior indebtedness or the senior indebtedness of the applicable subsidiary guarantor. Sufficient assets may not remain after all of these payments have been made to make any payments on the senior subordinated notes and our other senior subordinated obligations, including payments of interest when due. In addition, all payments on the senior subordinated notes and the related guarantees will be blocked in the event of a payment default on senior debt and may be blocked for up to 179 of 360 consecutive days in the event of certain non-payment defaults on senior debt.

In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding relating to us or the guarantors, holders of the senior subordinated notes will participate with trade creditors and all other holders of our and the guarantors’ subordinated indebtedness in the assets remaining after we and the guarantors have repaid all of our senior debt. However, because the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes requires that amounts otherwise payable to holders of the senior subordinated notes in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding be paid to holders of senior debt instead, holders of the senior subordinated notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of trade payables in any such proceeding. In any of these cases, we and the guarantors may not have sufficient funds to pay all of our creditors and holders of senior subordinated notes may receive less, ratably, than the holders of our senior debt.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance the change of control offer required by the indentures governing the notes.

Upon the occurrence of a “change of control,” as defined in the indentures governing the notes, we must offer to buy back the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of the repurchase. Our failure to purchase, or give notice of purchase of, the senior notes or the senior subordinated notes, as applicable, would be a default under each of the indentures governing the notes, which would also be a default under our senior secured credit facilities. See “Description of Senior Notes—Repurchase of Senior Notes at the Option of Holders—Change of Control” and “Description of Senior Subordinated Notes—Repurchase of Senior Subordinated Notes at the Option of Holders—Change of Control.”

If a change of control occurs, it is possible that we may not have sufficient assets at the time of the change of control to make the required repurchase of notes or to satisfy all obligations under our senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing the notes. In order to satisfy our obligations, we could seek to refinance the indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing the notes or obtain a waiver from the lenders or you as a holder of the notes. We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain a waiver or refinance our indebtedness on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Certain restrictive covenants in the indentures governing the notes will be suspended if such notes achieve investment grade ratings.

Most of the restrictive covenants in the indentures governing the notes will not apply for so long as the senior notes or the senior subordinated notes, as applicable, achieve investment grade ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, and no default or event of default has occurred. If these restrictive covenants cease to apply, we may take actions, such as incurring additional debt, undergoing a change of control transaction or making certain dividends or distributions that would otherwise be prohibited under the applicable indenture. Ratings are given by these rating agencies based upon analyses that include many subjective factors. We cannot assure you that the senior notes or the senior subordinated notes will achieve investment grade ratings, nor can we assure you that investment grade ratings, if granted, will reflect all of the factors that would be important to holders of the senior notes or the senior subordinated notes, as applicable.

Certain private equity investment funds affiliated with GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Onex Partners II LP own a significant majority of our equity, and their interests may not be aligned with our note holders or creditors.

Private equity investment funds affiliated with GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Onex Partners II LP own substantially all of our equity. These private equity investment funds have the power, subject to certain exceptions, to direct our affairs and policies. A majority of the members of the HBI Board of Directors have been designated by these private equity investment funds. Through such representation on the HBI Board of Directors, they are able to substantially influence the appointment of management and entry into extraordinary transactions, including mergers and sales of assets.

The interests of GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Onex Partners II LP and their respective affiliates could conflict with the interests of the note holders or creditors. For example, if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts as they mature, the interests of GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Onex Partners II LP as equity holders might conflict with the interests of the note holders or creditors. Affiliates of GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Onex Partners II LP may also have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investments, although such transactions might involve risks to the note holders or creditors. In addition, GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Onex Partners II LP or their respective affiliates may in the future own businesses that directly or indirectly compete with ours or our suppliers or customers of ours. For example, affiliates of Onex Partners II LP currently own a controlling interest in one of our suppliers.

Federal and state laws permit courts to void guarantees under certain circumstances.

The notes are guaranteed by our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our senior secured credit facilities. The guarantees may be subject to review under U.S. federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent conveyance laws if a bankruptcy or reorganization case or lawsuit is commenced by or on behalf of our or one of our guarantors’ unpaid creditors. Under these laws, a court could void the obligations under the

guarantee, subordinate the guarantee of the notes to that guarantor’s other debt or take other action detrimental to holders of the notes and the guarantees of the notes, if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee:

•

issued the guarantee to delay, hinder or defraud present or future creditors;

•

received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for issuing the guarantee at the time it issued the guarantee;

•

was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of issuing the guarantee;

•

was engaged, or about to engage, in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital to carry on its business; or

•

intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature.

The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in a particular proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

•

the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;

•

the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing indebtedness, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

•

it could not pay its indebtedness as it becomes due.

We cannot be sure as to the standard that a court would use to determine whether or not a particular guarantor was solvent at the relevant time, or, regardless of the standard that the court uses, that the issuance of the guarantee would not be voided or the guarantee would not be subordinated to the guarantor’s other debt. If such a case were to occur, the guarantee could also be subject to the claim that, since the guarantee was incurred for our benefit and only indirectly for the benefit of the guarantor, the obligations of the applicable guarantor were incurred for less than fair consideration.

There is no public market for the notes, and we do not know if a market will ever develop or, if a market does develop, whether it will be sustained.

We do not intend to apply for listing or quotation of the notes on any securities or stock market, although our notes trade on the PORTAL Market. The liquidity of any market for the notes will depend on a number of factors, including:

•

the number of holders of notes;

•

our operating performance and financial condition;

•

the market for similar securities;

•

the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the notes; and

•

prevailing interest rates.

The notes were issued to, and we believe the notes are owned by, a relatively small number of beneficial owners. Goldman, Sachs & Co., or the Initial Purchaser, was an initial purchaser of the notes, pursuant to a purchase agreement among us, the guarantors, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and the other initial purchasers named therein, dated March 16, 2007. The Initial Purchaser has advised us that they presently intend to make a market in the notes as permitted by applicable law. However, the Initial Purchaser is under no obligation to do so and may cease their market-making at any time without notice. Accordingly, the market for the notes may cease to exist. Because we are an affiliate of the Initial Purchaser, the Initial Purchaser is required to deliver a current “market-maker” prospectus, such as this prospectus, and otherwise comply with the registration requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary market sale of the notes, which may affect their ability to continue market-making activities. We have agreed to make a “market-maker” prospectus generally available to the Initial Purchaser to permit it to engage in market-making transactions. However, the registration rights agreements also provide that we may, for valid business reasons, allow the market-maker prospectus to cease to be effective and usable for a period of time set forth

in the registration rights agreements or as otherwise acceptable to the market-maker. As a result, the liquidity of the secondary market for the notes may be materially adversely affected by the unavailability of a current “market-maker” prospectus.

Because each guarantor’s liability under its guarantee may be reduced to zero, voided or released under certain circumstances, you may not receive any payments from some or all of the guarantors.

The notes have the benefit of the guarantees of the guarantors. However, the guarantees by the guarantors are limited to the maximum amount that the guarantors are permitted to guarantee under applicable law. As a result, a guarantor’s liability under its guarantee could be reduced to zero, depending upon the amount of other obligations of such guarantor. Furthermore, under the circumstances discussed more fully above, a court under federal or state fraudulent conveyance and transfer statutes could void the obligations under a guarantee or further subordinate it to all other obligations of the guarantor.

Difficult conditions in the capital, credit, general aviation and other aircraft markets and in the overall economy could continue to materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, and we do not know if these conditions will improve in the near future.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations are being materially adversely affected by difficult conditions in the general aviation market and in the overall economy. The recession negatively affected the demand for new and used business jets, spare parts and maintenance, and despite the end of the recession our results of operations and financial condition continue to be materially adversely impacted by the current economic conditions.

Many of the products we sell are considered discretionary purchases, and our levels of sales have historically been tied to corporate and consumer spending levels, which are typically cyclical in nature. Our sales are significantly affected by the level of corporate spending which, in turn, is a function of the general economic environment. In a slowly growing economy such as many of the markets in which we operate are experiencing, corporate cash flows decrease, which typically leads to a decrease in demand for our products or postponement of planned purchases. The purchase of our products by consumers is discretionary, and therefore highly dependent upon the level of consumer spending. Accordingly, sales of our products may be adversely affected by a weak economy, increases in consumer debt levels, uncertainties regarding future economic prospects or a decline in consumer confidence.

Moreover, aircraft customers, including sellers of fractional share interests, providers of charter services and dealers have responded and may continue to respond to the current weak economic conditions by delaying delivery of orders or canceling orders as we experienced in late 2008 and throughout 2009 and 2010. Weakness in the economy may also result in fewer hours being flown on existing aircraft and, consequently, lower demand for spare parts and maintenance services. Weak economic conditions may also cause reduced demand for used business jets. We have experienced reductions in the fair market value of used aircraft accepted as trade-ins while such aircraft were in our inventory. In addition, economic conditions have resulted in an increased supply of used aircraft in the market which to some extent competes with our sales of new aircraft into the market. The continuation of this dynamic may adversely affect sales of our products.

Our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely impacted by some of our customers’ inability to obtain financing.

Some of our customers rely on credit markets to obtain financing for new and used aircraft purchases. Uncertainty in the credit markets may reduce the number of lenders willing to finance aircraft or cause lenders to impose stricter lending requirements. The inability of a portion of our customers to obtain financing could lead to reduced demand for our products, delayed deliveries or order cancellations, which could adversely affect the number of aircraft deliveries we make or reduce the prices we can charge for our aircraft, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We operate in a very competitive business environment.

The general aviation industry is highly competitive and we encounter competition in both domestic and foreign markets. The highly competitive nature of our industry means we are continually subject to the risk of loss of our market share, loss of significant customers, reduction in margins, the inability for us to gain market share or acquire new customers, and difficulty in raising our prices. Many of our competitors in the general aviation market are either part of larger, more diversified companies or may be the beneficiaries of government subsidies. As a result of this, these competitors may have access to more resources than we do. These circumstances may provide our competitors with a lower cost of capital, the ability to sustain a prolonged downturn in the industry or general economy, more funds for investment in development of new products and more resources in general. These competitors may have less debt than we have and may be better able to withstand changes in market conditions within the industry. For these reasons, we may not be able to compete successfully against such competitors or future entrants into the general aviation markets in which we compete, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are at risk of adverse publicity and losses stemming from any accident involving aircraft for which we hold design authority.

Any accident involving one of our manufactured aircraft could create a public perception that our aircraft are not safe or reliable, which could harm our reputation and have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if one of our manufactured aircraft were to crash or be involved in an accident, we could be exposed to significant liability. We are currently involved in various litigation matters stemming from such incidents. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all possible losses that may arise in the event of an accident involving one of our manufactured products. In the event that our insurance is not adequate, we may be forced to bear substantial losses.

Accidents and incidents involving one of our manufactured aircraft may prompt the FAA to issue airworthiness directives or other notices regarding the aircraft, and we have received such airworthiness directives previously. Publication of an FAA airworthiness directive or notice could create a public perception that a particular Hawker Beechcraft aircraft is not safe, reliable, or suitable for an operator’s needs. This perception could result in a claim being filed against us or lost future sales, or both. In addition, the FAA could require design modifications causing us to incur significant expenditures altering an aircraft design, altering aircraft in production and altering fielded aircraft. FAA airworthiness directives are typically followed by similar regulatory requirements in other countries where affected aircraft are certified. The publication of an airworthiness directive or notice by the FAA could lead to a decline in revenues and have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994 (“GARA”) provides a “statute of repose” which, in the context of aviation litigation, operates to limit the time a lawsuit can be filed against an aircraft manufacturer. GARA bars lawsuits against a manufacturer of aircraft or aircraft components once the product has been in service for eighteen years. Such limitations on liability, however, are dependent upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident giving rise to liability. GARA does not, for instance, apply if the aircraft was engaged in a scheduled passenger flight and may not apply in certain air medical services operations. RA has manufactured certain aircraft that remain in use in scheduled passenger and other operations, including the King Air 1900, that may not be covered by GARA. In addition, as part of the Acquisition, we retained the type certification for the King Air 1900. As a result, if any of these aircraft were to crash or be involved in an accident, we could be exposed to liability and may not have a defense under GARA.

We incur risks associated with our aircraft programs.

The principal markets in which our businesses operate experience changes due to the introduction of new technologies. To meet our customers’ needs in these businesses, we must continuously design new products, update existing products and services, and invest in and develop new technologies. New programs with new technologies typically carry risks associated with design responsibility, FAA mandated certification requirements, development of new production tools, hiring and training of qualified personnel, increased capital and funding commitments, delivery schedules and unique contractual requirements, supplier performance and our ability to accurately estimate costs associated with such programs. Our competitors may also develop products that are superior to our products or may adapt more quickly than us to new technologies or evolving customer requirements. Technological advances by our competitors may lead to new manufacturing techniques to manufacture their products and may make it more

difficult for us to compete. In addition, any new aircraft program may not generate sufficient demand or may be subject to technological problems or significant delays in the regulatory certification or manufacturing and delivery schedule, and the costs of these new aircraft programs may exceed our expectations. If we were unable to manufacture products at our estimated costs or if a new program in which we had made a significant investment is subject to weak demand, delays or technological problems, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our operations depend on our ability to maintain continuous, uninterrupted production at our manufacturing facilities. Our production facilities are subject to physical and other risks that could disrupt production.

Our manufacturing facilities could be damaged or disrupted by a natural disaster, war, terrorist activity or sustained mechanical failure. Although we have obtained property damage and business interruption insurance in amounts determined sufficient by management, a major catastrophe, such as a fire, flood, tornado or other natural disaster at any of our sites, war or terrorist activities in any of the areas where we conduct operations or the sustained mechanical failure of a key piece of equipment could result in a prolonged interruption of all or a substantial portion of our business. Production at our manufacturing facilities in Kansas could be disrupted in connection with our closure of certain of our facilities and our outsourcing of certain operations. Any disruption resulting from these events could cause significant delays in shipments of products and the loss of sales and customers. We may not have insurance to adequately compensate us for any of these events. A large portion of our operations is conducted in facilities in Wichita and Salina, Kansas, in Little Rock, Arkansas, in Chester, England, and in Chihuahua, Mexico, and any significant damage or disruption to these facilities in particular would materially adversely affect our ability to manufacture and deliver aircraft and parts to our customers.

Inclement weather conditions during the last quarter of the calendar year, when we typically have our peak deliveries, could adversely affect our financial results.

Historically, our peak deliveries have occurred during the last quarter of the calendar year. Inclement weather conditions during that time of year may limit our ability to conduct necessary pre-delivery flight tests, which may delay our deliveries and adversely affect our financial results.

Any significant disruption in our supply from key vendors could delay production and adversely affect our sales.

The FAA prescribes standards and qualification requirements for aerostructures, including virtually all general aviation products, with which our suppliers must comply. We cannot be certain that our suppliers will be able to comply, and failure to do so may cause shortages or delays. We cannot be certain that substitute raw materials or component parts will be available to us or will meet the strict specifications and quality standards that we, our customers and the U.S. Government impose. Often, our certification from the FAA relates to a specific part from a specific supplier. If we were required to certify replacement parts from a new vendor, the certification process could materially delay production and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

We are highly dependent on the availability of essential materials and purchased components from our suppliers, some of which are available only from a sole source or limited sources, especially major systems such as engines and avionics, which are co-developed with our suppliers and, therefore, are often sole-sourced with that supplier. Moreover, we are dependent upon the ability of our suppliers to provide materials and components that meet specifications, quality standards and delivery schedules. Our suppliers’ failure to provide expected raw materials or component parts that meet our technical specifications could adversely affect production schedules and contract profitability.

In addition, contracts with certain of our suppliers for raw materials and other goods are short-term contracts. We cannot be certain that these suppliers will continue to provide products to us at attractive prices or at all, or that we will be able to obtain such products in the future from these or other providers on the scale and within the time periods we require. Our foreign suppliers must also comply with U.S. import/export control laws. Any failure to comply with such laws may delay or halt supplier production or shipments of goods. If we are not able to obtain key products on a timely basis and at affordable costs, or we experience significant delays or interruptions of supply, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

In addition to the risks described above, our continued supply of materials is subject to a number of other risks including:

•

the destruction of our suppliers’ facilities or their distribution infrastructure;

•

a work stoppage or strike by our suppliers’ employees;

•

the failure of essential equipment at our suppliers’ plants;

•

the failure, shortage or delays in the delivery of supply of raw materials to our suppliers;

•

contractual amendments and disputes with our suppliers; and

•

inability of second tier suppliers to perform as required.

Increases in labor costs, potential labor disputes and work stoppages at our facilities could materially adversely affect our financial performance.

Our financial performance is affected by the availability of qualified personnel and the cost of labor. Approximately 47% of our workforce at December 31, 2010 was represented by unions and is covered by collective bargaining agreements. Approximately 2,900 of our hourly employees at our Wichita and Salina, Kansas facilities are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with IAM that expires on August 7, 2011. Our service facility in Chester, England has a union contract covering approximately 300 employees that expires on March 31, 2011. If our workers were to engage in a strike, as they did in 2008 when the prior collective bargaining agreement expired, work stoppage or other slowdown, we could experience a significant disruption of our operations that could cause us to be unable to deliver products to our customers on a timely basis and could result in a breach of our sales or supply agreements. This could result in a loss of business and an increase in our operating expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, our non-unionized labor force may become subject to labor union organizing efforts, which could cause us to incur additional labor costs and increase the related risks that we now face.

Our JPATS contracts expose us to the inherent risks of fixed price contracting, and future contracts under the JPATS program are not guaranteed.

We manufacture aircraft for the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy. We provide some of our products and services to governments through long-term contracts in which the pricing terms are fixed based on certain production volumes. For the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately 18% of our revenues were derived from the JPATS contract. Government programs such as the JPATS program are generally implemented by the award of multi-year contracts in which the pricing for future years’ procurements by the government is negotiated under fixed price contracts and segregated into individual lots to be exercised on an annual basis. The award of these future lots is subject to future Congressional appropriations. Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though a program extends for more than one year. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded at any one time, and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations. U.S. Government contracts under such programs are subject to termination or adjustment if appropriations for the program are not available or change. In addition, U.S. Government contracts, including the JPATS contract, generally contain provisions permitting termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice at the U.S. Government’s convenience as well as termination for default based on performance. We believe that the U.S. Navy will purchase fewer aircraft under the JPATS contract. Upon termination for convenience, we are generally entitled to compensation only for work done and commitments outstanding at the time of termination. A termination arising out of our default could expose us to liability and have a negative impact on our ability to obtain future contracts and orders. Furthermore, on contracts for which we are a subcontractor and not the prime contractor, the U.S. Government could terminate the prime contract for convenience or otherwise, irrespective of our performance as a subcontractor.

In January 2011, the Secretary of Defense publicized his efforts to freeze the military budget as part of the U.S. Government’s efforts to decrease the deficit. Circumstances such as these may increase the risk that Congress may limit its appropriations in the future. The termination of one or more large contracts, whether due to lack of funding, for convenience, or otherwise, or the occurrence of delays, cost overruns and product failures in connection with one or more government contracts, could materially adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we can give no assurance that we would be able to procure new U.S. Government contracts to offset the revenues lost as a result of any termination of our current U.S. Government contracts. The majority of our Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment sales are from our JPATS contract. A termination of the JPATS contract would substantially reduce future sales in this segment.

In 2008, we completed negotiations for Lots 14-16 of the JPATS contract. Since this contract is a fixed price contract, we will bear the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce our profit margins or cause us to sustain losses on the contract. We must fully absorb cost overruns, notwithstanding the difficulty of estimating all of the costs we will incur in performing this contract and in projecting the ultimate level of sales that we may achieve. Our failure to anticipate technical problems, estimate delivery reductions, estimate costs accurately, or control costs during performance of a fixed price contract may reduce the profitability of a contract or cause a loss.

Our business could be adversely affected by a negative audit by the U.S. Government.

As a government contractor we are subject to routine audits and investigations by U.S. Government agencies such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency (the “DCAA”). These agencies review a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of, and a contractor’s compliance with, its internal control systems and policies. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed or must be refunded if already reimbursed. Moreover, private individuals may bring qui tam, or “whistle blower” suits, under the False Claims Act, which permits a private individual to bring a claim on behalf of the U.S. Government to recover payments made as a result of a false claim. Such individuals may receive a portion of amounts recovered on behalf of the U.S. Government. If an audit, alleged whistle blower or other activity results in discovery of improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, which may include: termination of contracts; forfeiture of profits; suspension of payments; fines; and suspension or prohibition from doing business with the U.S. Government. In addition, we could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made against us.

We are subject to government regulation, and our business may be materially adversely affected if we lose our government, regulatory or industry approvals, if more stringent government regulations are enacted or if industry oversight is increased.

The FAA prescribes standards and qualification requirements for aerostructures, including virtually all general aviation products. The FAA further regulates virtually all aviation services, such as maintenance, training, and the operation of aircraft. Comparable agencies, including but not limited to the European Aviation Safety Agency (“EASA”), in Europe, regulate these matters in other countries. In addition, the FAA, the EASA or other comparable agencies occasionally propose new regulations or changes to existing regulations. These regulations, if adopted, could cause us to incur significant additional costs to achieve compliance. If we fail to qualify for or obtain a required license for one of our products or services or lose a qualification or license previously granted, the sale of the subject product or service would be prohibited by law until such license is obtained or renewed and our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. In addition, designing new products to meet existing regulatory requirements and retrofitting existing products to comply with new regulatory requirements can be expensive and time consuming.

Further, our business could be materially adversely affected if the U.S. Government enacts new regulation in the form of “user fees” or other tax regulation on our products or their use. Our products are generally considered discretionary goods and are not currently subject to “user fees” or other excess taxation. If the U.S. Government were to institute new taxes on the operation or use of our products, the attractiveness of general aviation as an alternative to commercial airfare could be affected and demand for our products may decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

The Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration, along with other governmental regulatory agencies regularly review the level of security associated with general aviation flight operations to minimize the vulnerability of general aviation aircraft being used as a weapon or to deliver illicit materials or to transport dangerous individuals. Any changes to the current regulations which decrease the efficiencies associated with the use of general aviation aircraft may make the utilization of general aviation as an alternative to commercial air travel less attractive and could therefore lower demand for our products which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and liquidity.

Certain contracts, primarily related to our special mission business, are classified contracts. Because one of our principal shareholders is a Canadian entity, we have agreed to, and have implemented, a Security Control Agreement (“SCA”) with the Defense Security Service (“DSS”) as a suitable Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (“FOCI”) mitigation arrangement under the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual. A

FOCI arrangement is necessary for us to continue to maintain the requisite security clearances to complete performance under these contracts. Failure to reach and/or maintain an appropriate agreement with DSS regarding the appropriate FOCI mitigation arrangement could result in invalidation or termination of the security clearances, which in turn would mean that we would not be able to enter into future classified contracts, and may result in the loss of our ability to complete our existing classified contracts.

We are subject to regulation of our technical data and goods under U.S. export control laws.

We are regulated by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations administered by the U.S. Department of State, and the Export Administration Regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Collaborative agreements that we may have with foreign persons, including manufacturers and suppliers, are also subject to U.S. export control laws. In addition, we are subject to trade sanctions against embargoed countries, administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control within the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

A determination that we have failed to comply with one or more of these export controls or trade sanctions could result in civil or criminal penalties, including the imposition of fines and the denial of export privileges and debarment from participation in U.S. Government contracts. Delays or disapproval of export or import licenses or agreements could delay production and adversely affect our financial condition. Additionally, restrictions may be placed on the export of technical data and goods in the future as a result of changing geo-political conditions. Any one or more of such sanctions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from sales to customers outside the United States and are subject to the risks of doing business in foreign countries.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from sales to customers outside the United States. For the year ended December 31, 2010, international sales accounted for approximately 45% of our consolidated revenues. We expect that our international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future and are likely to increase over time. As a result, we are subject to risks of doing business internationally, including:

•

changes in regulatory requirements;

•

domestic and foreign government policies, including requirements to expend a portion of program funds locally and governmental industrial cooperation requirements;

•

the necessity and complexity of using foreign employees, representatives and consultants;

•

fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;

•

lack of intellectual property protection in foreign jurisdictions;

•

imposition of tariffs or embargoes, export controls and other trade restrictions;

•

the difficulty of management and operation of an enterprise spread over various countries;

•

compliance with a variety of foreign laws and taxation policies, as well as U.S. laws affecting the activities of U.S. companies abroad; and

•

economic and geo-political developments and conditions, including international hostilities, political instability, acts of terrorism and governmental reactions, inflation, trade relationships and military and political alliances.

While these factors or the impact of these factors are difficult to predict, any one or more of these factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

In order to sell many of our products outside of the United States, we must first obtain licenses and authorizations from various government agencies. For certain sales of defense equipment and services to foreign governments, the U.S. Department of State must notify Congress at least 15 to 30 days, depending on the size and location of the sale, prior to authorizing these sales. During that time, Congress may take action to block the proposed sale. We can give no assurance that we will continue to be successful in obtaining the necessary licenses or authorizations or that Congress will not prevent certain sales. Our inability to sell products outside of the United States could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

The outcome of litigation in which we have been named as a defendant is unpredictable and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

We are defendants in a number of litigation matters and are subject to various other claims, demands and investigations. These matters may divert financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit our operations. No assurances can be given that the results of these matters will be favorable to us. An adverse resolution or outcome of any of these lawsuits, claims, demands or investigations could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Under the purchase agreement relating to the Acquisition, Raytheon has retained liability for product liability claims relating to occurrences after April 1, 2001 until closing of the Acquisition. However, to the extent that Raytheon fails to uphold its agreements under the contract, we could be adversely affected. We retain liability for claims relating to occurrences prior to April 1, 2001, subject to limited exceptions covering specific liabilities retained by Raytheon.

We are subject to strict environmental laws and regulations that may lead to significant, unforeseen expenses.

Our operations are subject to the requirements of federal, state, local, European and other foreign environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations, the violation of which can result in substantial costs and liabilities, including material civil and criminal fines and penalties. Such requirements include those pertaining to pollution; the protection of human health and the environment; air emissions; wastewater discharges; occupational safety and health; and the generation, handling, treatment, remediation, use, storage, transport, release of and exposure to, hazardous substances and wastes. We have incurred and will continue to incur costs and capital expenditures to comply with these environmental requirements and to obtain and maintain all necessary permits. Any failure by us to comply with such laws and regulations could subject us to significant civil or criminal fines and penalties and other liabilities. In addition, if we were convicted of a violation of certain of these laws or regulations (including the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act), we, or one of our subsidiaries, could be placed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) on the “Excluded Parties List” maintained by the U.S. General Services Administration. The listing would continue until the EPA concluded that the cause of the violation had been cured. Facilities at which the violation occurred cannot be used in performing any U.S. Government contract awarded during any period of listing by the EPA, and pre-existing contracts may be terminated by the government once a facility is listed. In addition, this prohibition can also extend to other facilities that are owned or operated by a convicted entity.

Under certain of these laws and regulations, such as the federal Superfund statute, the obligation to investigate and remediate contamination at a facility may be imposed on current and former owners or operators or on persons who may have sent waste to that facility for disposal. Liability under these laws and regulations may be without regard to fault or to the legality of the activities giving rise to the contamination. Contamination has been identified at some of our facilities, and we have incurred, and will continue to incur, costs to investigate and remediate these conditions. In connection with such contamination, we may also be liable for natural resource damages, government penalties and claims by third parties for personal injury and property damage. In addition, we may incur liabilities in connection with any future environmental contamination or any previously unknown but currently existing environmental conditions at our facilities. The costs of investigation, remediation and other costs with respect to identified environmental conditions, including conditions at offsite disposal locations with respect to which we have been notified of potential liability, could be significant.

Under the purchase agreement with Raytheon, subject to certain conditions, Raytheon is obligated to indemnify us for a number of categories of environmental liabilities, including liabilities relating to contamination at, and waste disposal sites used by, facilities that RA formerly owned or operated. We cannot be certain, however, that Raytheon will satisfy its indemnification obligations in whole or in part. If Raytheon fails to comply with its indemnity obligations, we could become subject to significant liabilities.

In addition, environmental laws and regulations, and the interpretation or enforcement of these laws and regulations, are constantly evolving and it is impossible to predict accurately the effect that changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, may have upon our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Should environmental laws and regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, become more stringent, the costs of compliance could increase. If we cannot pass along future cost increases to our customers, any such increases may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

We are subject to fluctuations in the rate of exchange between U.S. dollars and foreign currencies, particularly U.K. pound sterling.

The majority of our sales are generated in U.S. dollars; however, a significant component of our aircraft production cost on certain models is contracted with suppliers in U.K. pound sterling. We may enter into foreign currency forward contracts with commercial banks to fix the dollar value of a portion of our commitments to these suppliers; however, these foreign currency forward contracts may not cover the total value of foreign currency payments we are obligated, or may become obligated, to make. Therefore, we could be adversely affected by a weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, particularly the U.K. pound sterling. Conversely, declining production volumes could cause foreign currency forward contracts to be in excess of required foreign currency causing us to be exposed to mark-to-market gains or losses for contracts not designated in a cash flow hedging relationship.

We accept used aircraft as trade-ins from our customers and may be required to accept trade-ins at a financial loss.

In connection with the signing of a purchase contract for new aircraft, we may agree to accept a trade-in aircraft from our customer as partial consideration of the purchase price. We attempt to value trade-ins at levels that will enable us to sell the used aircraft within 60 to 90 days of the trade-in. When we experience long delays between signing of a purchase contract and actual delivery of the aircraft, we may be required to accept trade-ins at prices that are above the then-market price of the trade-in aircraft, which would result in lower gross margins at the time of the new aircraft sale.

Any future decrease in the market value of the aircraft we accept on trade-in could cause us to incur charges to income. We cannot be certain that then-prevailing market conditions would enable us to resell or lease the underlying used aircraft at its anticipated fair value or in a timely manner. Consequently, our practice of accepting trade-ins of aircraft from our customers could reduce our cash flow and income in a particular year.

We must assess the value of used aircraft and aircraft materials and parts, which requires significant judgment, and changes in the value of such items could adversely affect our future financial results.

The valuation of used aircraft in inventory, which are stated at cost, but not in excess of realizable value, requires significant judgment. As part of our assessment of realizable value, we evaluate many factors, including current and future market conditions, the age and condition of the aircraft and availability levels of the aircraft in the market. In addition, the valuation of aircraft materials and parts that support our worldwide fleet of aircraft, which are stated at cost, but not in excess of realizable value, also requires significant judgment. As part of our assessment of realizable value, we evaluate many factors, including the expected useful life of the aircraft, some of which have remained in service for several decades. Furthermore, we assume an orderly disposition of both used aircraft and aircraft materials and parts in connection with our assessments of realizable value. Changes in market or economic conditions and changes in products or competitive products may adversely impact the future valuation of used aircraft and aircraft materials and parts and such changes in valuation could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

We use estimates in accounting for certain contracts and changes in our estimates could adversely affect our financial results.

Revenue recognition for certain of our contracts requires judgment relative to estimating total sales and costs at completion. Due to the size and nature of these contracts, the estimating process is complicated. Because of the significance of the judgments and estimation processes, it is likely that materially different amounts could be recorded if we used different assumptions. Changes in underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Implementation of new information systems could cause disruptions to our operations.

In 2011, we will implement new information systems software throughout the company. Implementation of the new system could cause disruptions to our operations.

Our business operations could be negatively impacted if we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or if third parties claim that we are in violation of their intellectual property rights.

We rely on a combination of trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, non-patented proprietary know-how, trade secrets and other proprietary information. We employ various methods to protect our proprietary information, including confidentiality agreements, invention assignment agreements and proprietary information agreements with vendors, employees, contractors, distributors, consultants and others. However, these agreements may be breached. In addition, we hold U.S. and foreign trademarks and patents relating to a number of our products and have additional trademark and patent applications pending. We also apply for patents in the ordinary course of our business, as we deem appropriate. However, these precautions offer only limited protection, and our proprietary information may become known to, or be independently developed by, competitors, patent or trademark applications might not be issued or our proprietary rights in intellectual property may be challenged, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, our existing or future patents, if any, may not afford us significant competitive advantages, and we cannot be certain that any patent application will result in an issued patent or that our patents will not be circumvented, invalidated or declared unenforceable.

Our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be adversely affected if we become involved in intellectual property litigation. If we were to lose any such litigation, a court or a similar foreign governing body could invalidate or render unenforceable our owned or licensed patents, require us to pay significant damages, cause us to seek licenses and/or pay royalties to third parties, require us to redesign our products, or prevent us from manufacturing, using or selling our products. Any of those events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits and proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or its foreign equivalents, are costly and time consuming. Intellectual property litigation relating to our products could cause our customers or potential customers to defer or limit their purchase or use of the affected products until resolution of the litigation.

Any future business combinations, acquisitions, mergers or joint ventures will expose us to risks, including the risk that we may not be able to successfully integrate these businesses or achieve expected operating synergies.

We actively consider strategic transactions from time to time. We evaluate acquisitions, joint ventures, alliances or co-production programs as opportunities arise, and we may be engaged in varying levels of negotiations with potential competitors at any time. We may not be able to effect transactions with strategic alliance, acquisition or co-production program candidates on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The integration of companies that have previously been operated separately involves a number of risks; as such, if we enter into these transactions, we also may not realize the benefits we anticipate and we may subject ourselves to unforeseen contingent liabilities. Consummating any acquisitions, joint ventures, alliances or co-production programs could result in the incurrence of additional debt and related interest expense. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing for these transactions.

Significant changes in discount rates, actual investment return on pension assets and other factors could affect our results of operations, equity and pension contributions in future periods.

Our results of operations are impacted by the amount of income or expense we record for our pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) require that we calculate income or expense for the plans using actuarial valuations. These valuations reflect assumptions relating to financial market and other economic conditions. The most significant year-end

assumptions used to estimate pension or other postretirement income or expense for the following year are the discount rate, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and expected rate of inflation for medical costs. In addition, we are required to make an annual measurement of plan assets and liabilities, which may result in a significant change to Other Comprehensive Income, a component of equity. Changes in key economic indicators could cause our assumptions to not be realized and materially impact our results of operations. For a discussion regarding how our financial statements can be affected by pension and other postretirement plan accounting policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Critical Accounting Policies” in this prospectus. Although GAAP expense and pension or other postretirement contributions are not directly related, the key economic factors that affect GAAP expense would also likely affect contributions to the pension or other postretirement plans. Potential pension contributions include both mandatory amounts required under federal law Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and discretionary contributions to improve the plans’ funded status.

Our business will suffer if we are unable to recruit and retain highly skilled staff.

The success of our business is highly dependent upon our ability to continue to recruit, train and retain skilled employees, particularly skilled engineers. The market for these personnel resources is highly competitive. We may be unsuccessful in attracting and retaining the engineers we need, and, in such event, our business could be materially adversely affected. Our inability to hire new personnel with the requisite skills could impair our ability to provide products to our customers or to manage our business effectively.

If we fail to maintain a minimum number of employees in Kansas, we will be required to repay a portion of the funds we have received from the State of Kansas, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In December 2010, we reached an agreement with the State of Kansas pursuant to which we will receive $10 million in 2011, followed by $5 million each year for the next four years. These funds may be used for expenses such as the purchase or relocation of equipment, product development, labor recruitment, or building costs. The State’s incentive package requires us to maintain our current product lines in Wichita and retain at least 4,000 jobs in Kansas over the next 10 years. If we do not, we will be subject to certain repayment obligations which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The conditions of the U.S. and international capital markets may adversely affect our financial condition or liquidity.

If financial institutions that have extended credit commitments to the Company are adversely affected by the current or future conditions of the U.S. and international capital markets, they may become unable to fulfill their credit commitments to the Company, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and its ability to access its revolving credit or to borrow additional funds, if needed, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, research and development and other corporate purposes. By way of example, on September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“Lehman”) filed for bankruptcy. One of Lehman’s subsidiaries, Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank, had a $35.0 million commitment in the Company’s revolving credit facility (the amount of this commitment has been reduced to $22.7 million as a result of an overall reduction in the revolving commitment). Accordingly, we do not expect Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank to fulfill its funding obligations under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

The investment of our cash balance is subject to risks which may cause losses and affect the liquidity of these investments.

We hold our cash in a variety of investment grade, liquid money market instruments. If the carrying value of our investments exceeds the fair value and the decline in fair value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, we will be required to write down the value of our investments, which could materially harm our results of operations and financial condition. If there is destabilization in the credit environment, we might incur significant realized, unrealized or impairment losses associated with these investments. Fair market value of our investments is determined on a daily basis based on market prices.

We are a holding company.

We are a holding company, and we conduct substantially all of our operations through our subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to meet our debt service obligations, including our obligations under the notes, substantially depends upon our subsidiaries’ cash flows and payment of funds to us by our subsidiaries as dividends, loans, advances or other payments. In addition, the payment of dividends or the making of loans, advances or other payments to us may be subject to regulatory or contractual restrictions.

USE OF PROCEEDS

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 reflects the business of Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC (“HBAC”).

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition, this discussion may contain forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements” for more information about these risks and uncertainties.

Business Overview

We are a leading designer and manufacturer of business jet, turboprop and piston aircraft. We are also the sole source provider of the primary military trainer aircraft to the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy and provide military trainer aircraft to other governments. We deliver our products to a diverse customer base, including corporations, fractional and charter operators, governments and individuals throughout the world. We provide parts, maintenance and flight support services through an extensive network of service centers in 32 countries to an estimated installed fleet of more than 37,000 aircraft.

Our operations are divided into three segments—Business and General Aviation, Trainer/Attack Aircraft and Customer Support. The Business and General Aviation segment designs, develops, manufactures, markets and delivers commercial and specially modified general aviation aircraft, as well as manufactures and provides aircraft parts to our Trainer/Attack Aircraft and Customer Support segments. The Business and General Aviation segment also sells used general aviation aircraft which may be received as a trade-in during a new aircraft sales transaction. The Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment designs, develops, manufactures, markets and sells military training aircraft. The Customer Support segment provides aftermarket parts and maintenance services as well as refurbishments and upgrade services for our installed fleet of aircraft worldwide.

We operate in the global business and general aviation industry, which continues to experience depressed demand primarily as a result of uncertainty in the global economy. The business and general aviation industry has historically been cyclical and has been impacted by many factors, including the condition of the U.S. and global economies, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies, corporate profits and geo-political events. Additionally, the business and general aviation industry has historically lagged behind changes in general economic conditions and corporate profit trends. We believe that the business and general aviation industry as a whole will continue to experience depressed demand during 2011.

Our Customer Support segment is also impacted by the general economic environment that has affected the business and general aviation industry; however, the impact on this segment of our business has not been as significant as the impact on our Business and General Aviation segment. In addition to general market conditions, our Customer Support business is influenced by the size and age of the installed fleet of aircraft, our customers’ aircraft usage patterns and the overall maintenance requirements for our aircraft.

Our Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment is less susceptible to changes in general economic conditions and provides us with a more stable and recurring source of revenue. Sales in this segment are principally generated by U.S. and foreign government and defense spending. Decreases or reprioritization of such spending could materially affect the financial performance of this segment.

Current Developments

To further reduce the cost of operations, in October, 2010, the Company announced it would implement a cost reduction and productivity program. The decision to implement the program was based on continuing challenging economic conditions affecting the Business and General Aviation division of the Company and the desire to provide resources for long-term investment for the Company’s future. The program consists of two parts.

The first part of the program consisted of the immediate termination of approximately 8% of salaried employees while the second part involves reducing the Company’s factory and shop work forces by approximately 800 employees by end of August 2011. The second part of the program also includes the closure of several of the Company’s facilities in Wichita, Kansas and the outsourcing of certain operations. The program is expected to result in the transfer of the work performed at the facilities being closed to third party suppliers or the Company’s manufacturing operations in Mexico. The costs related to the reduction in the Company’s factory and shop work force and other associated costs cannot yet be estimated.

In December 2010, the Company reached an agreement with the State of Kansas that incentivizes the Company to maintain its presence in Wichita. The $40.0 million incentive package from the State of Kansas is for investments in major projects and training. The Company is eligible to receive $10.0 million over three years for tuition reimbursement and training. The Company received $10.0 million in January 2011 and will receive $5.0 million each year for the next four years, as part of the Investments in Major Projects, to be used for product development, labor recruitment, building costs and other expenses related to the project. The State’s incentive package requires the Company to, among other things, (i) maintain its corporate headquarters and continue to perform final assembly of its current production lines in Wichita, Kansas through 2020; and (ii) maintain a minimum number of jobs in Kansas.

The Company will provide additional estimates, or ranges of estimates, concerning the costs and charges expected to be incurred in connection with the remainder of the program as additional information becomes available.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2009

Sales

As detailed in the sales by segment table below, sales decreased by $393.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was driven by lower aircraft deliveries in the Business and General Aviation segment, partially offset by increased volume in the Trainer/Aircraft Aircraft and Customer Support segments.

Business and General Aviation. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased by $539.0 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was largely attributable to lower commercial aircraft deliveries as a result of depressed demand across the general aviation market and lower special mission aircraft deliveries. The year ended December 31, 2009 included sales of 29 units of special mission King Air aircraft to the U.S. government under Project Liberty Phase I that were not repeated in 2010.

Trainer/Attack Aircraft. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased by $149.8 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 due to higher volume on both the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (“JPATS”) contract as well as international trainer contracts awarded in late 2009. A significant portion of the higher volume relates to the Ground Based Training Systems and Contractor Logistics Support elements of the JPATS and international contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment delivered 80 T-6 aircraft compared to 109 in the comparable period of 2009. The year ended December 31, 2009 included 36 units that were built in 2008 but were not delivered until 2009 due to a delivery suspension related to quality issues with a supplier’s component. Revenue is recognized on essentially all contracts in the Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment using the cost-to-cost method to measure progress towards completion. Accordingly, the majority of Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment sales, including estimated earned gross margin, are recognized as costs are incurred.

Customer Support. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased by $69.7 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily driven by the improved effectiveness of our strategic pricing and market capture initiatives across our parts and maintenance service business as well as general market strength. Customer Support segment sales are principally comprised of the sale of spare parts and maintenance services to existing aircraft operators.

Operating (Loss) Income

The Operating (Loss) Income by Segment table below details the improved operating performance of $538.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. Improved operating performance was primarily due to charges of $25.6 million related to asset impairments recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to charges of $522.8 million that had been recorded during the year ended December 31, 2009. A majority of the charges in 2009 were recorded in the Business and General Aviation segment. The decrease in aircraft delivery volume in the Business and General Aviation segment during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, partially offset the improvement in operating income.


	Year Ended
*(In millions)*	December 31, 2010			December 31, 2009
Operating (Loss) Income:
Business and General Aviation	$	(363.1	)	$	(801.7	)
Trainer/Attack Aircraft		95.7			45.5
Customer Support		93.6			44.1
Eliminations		(0.1	)		0.1

Total	$	(173.9	)	$	(712.0	)

Business and General Aviation. The operating loss was $363.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to an operating loss of $801.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The improvement of $438.6 million primarily resulted from lower impairment and loss-making aircraft charges, which were partially offset by decreases in sales volume, higher selling expenses associated with the Company’s expansion of its international sales force, as well as consulting and other expenditures related to factory operations cost-reduction initiatives.

During 2010, the Company recorded a charge of $13.0 million to reflect impairments of indefinite-lived assets and a charge of $12.6 million resulting from definite-lived asset impairments. In the third quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a charge of $340.1 million to reduce the carrying value of the Business and General Aviation segment goodwill to zero, a charge of $181.2 million to reflect impairments of other intangible assets and a charge of $60.2 million resulting from tangible asset and inventory impairments.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded charges of $89.4 million related to reserves for loss-making aircraft, a majority of which was related to the Hawker 4000. During the year ended December 31, 2009, charges totaling $137.1 million related to reserves for loss making aircraft, mostly related to the Hawker 4000 were recorded. Operating income is impacted significantly by the mix of aircraft delivered during any particular year. Of particular significance were the Project Liberty Phase I aircraft deliveries in 2009 that were not repeated in 2010.

Trainer/Attack Aircraft. Operating income increased by $50.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 due primarily to the increased volumes discussed previously as well as improved estimated contract profitability during the current year due to lower than expected contract service costs. The use of the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition causes gross margin to be recognized based on management’s estimate of total contract revenue and total contract cost at completion. As estimates are updated, any impact on revenue and gross margin as a result of the change in estimate is reflected in current earnings on a cumulative catch-up basis. Favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $25.3 million were recorded during the

year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $6.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, the year ended December 31, 2009 included amortization expense of $3.1 million related to intangible assets arising with the Acquisition. The underlying assets became fully amortized at March 29, 2009; therefore, there was not a similar expense during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Customer Support. Operating income increased by $49.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 due primarily to an inventory impairment charge of $31.5 million that was recorded in 2009 that did not recur in 2010. The remaining increase was primarily driven by the improved effectiveness of our strategic pricing and market capture initiatives across our parts and maintenance service business as well as cost productivity initiatives.

Restructuring.

We recorded pre-tax charges of $14.9 million related to restructuring during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $34.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. We continued restructuring actions during 2010 in response to lower aircraft production rates due to depressed demand in the general aviation industry and as part of the Company’s on-going cost reduction initiatives.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.

Selling, general and administrative expense totaled $257.5 million, or 9.2% of sales, for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $209.7 million, or 6.6% of sales, for the year ended December 31, 2009. This was primarily due to an increase of selling expenses of $33.7 million associated with the Company’s increased focus on international sales and higher costs associated with consulting and other services related to factory operations cost reduction activities of $13.4 million.

Research and Development Expense.

Research and development expense was $101.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $107.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $6.2 million. Although we continue to invest in development activities in the Business and General Aviation segment, our expenditures in that segment were lower in 2010 as compared to 2009, as we attempt to time new product introduction with anticipated market demand.

Non-operating Income/Expense, Net.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, net non-operating expense was $129.5 million, primarily related to interest expense, versus net non-operating income of $200.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $329.5 million in expense. The primary driver of the increase in non-operating expense during the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 was the non-recurring gain of the $352.1 million that the Company had in connection with the purchase of its own debt securities in 2009. Partially offsetting this increase was a $22.8 million decrease in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.

Provision for Income Taxes.

The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 was negative 0.3% and reflected the impact of the full valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred income tax assets. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 11.9% and included a $60.7 million benefit resulting from applying the intraperiod tax allocation rules to items in other comprehensive income and as a result of the reversal of deferred income taxes associated with the impairment to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 as Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2008

Sales

As detailed in the table below, sales decreased by $348.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease was driven primarily by the adverse market conditions impacting our Business and General Aviation segment partially offset by increased volume in the Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment. The year ended December 31, 2008 was impacted by a strike by the Company’s union work force during August 2008 which impacted both the Business and General Aviation and Trainer/Attack Aircraft segments.

Business and General Aviation. The decrease in Business and General Aviation sales for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $510.0 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 is attributable to reduced aircraft deliveries as reflected in the aircraft unit delivery table below. Deliveries were significantly adversely impacted by the depressed general aviation market conditions throughout 2009, offset partially by deliveries of special mission King Airs to the U.S. Government under Project Liberty and increased Hawker 4000 deliveries as we began to realize a more consistent completion pattern. Deliveries of the Hawker 4000 began in the second quarter of 2008.

Trainer/Attack Aircraft. Sales in the Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment are principally comprised of revenue on the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (“JPATS”) production contracts with the U.S. Government. Revenue is recognized on these contracts using the cost-to-cost method to measure progress towards completion. The contracts awarded for trainer aircraft for Israel, Iraq and Morocco also use the cost-to-cost method. Accordingly, the majority of Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment sales, including estimated earned gross margin, are recognized as costs are incurred. Program cost in any period is impacted by the number of aircraft in production as well as support provided for the Contractor Operated and Maintained Base Supply (“COMBS”) and Ground Based Training Systems (“GBTS”) elements of our contracts with the U.S. Government. The increase in segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $193.1 million was due to increased production volumes in support of higher trainer aircraft deliveries. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the segment delivered 109 T-6 aircraft compared to 36 in the year ended December 31, 2008. Trainer aircraft production and delivery volumes were impacted in 2008 due to the strike as well as the June 2008 suspension of deliveries pending resolution of quality issues with a supplier’s component. The issue was resolved with the vendor and the U.S. Government and deliveries resumed in January 2009. Deliveries in 2009 include the initial units on the Israeli and Iraqi contracts executed earlier in the year.

Customer Support. Customer Support segment sales are principally comprised of the sale of spare parts and maintenance services to existing aircraft operators. The decrease in segment sales for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $84.5 million is due to reduced volumes in both parts sales and maintenance services as a result of generally lower general aviation aircraft usage as well as the sale of our fuel and line operations in late 2008. Sales included in the segment’s results for the fuel and line operations were $48.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Operating (Loss) Income

The table below details the decrease in operating income of $852.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008. The decline was primarily due to the previously discussed third quarter 2009 impairment and other charges totaling $613.0 million as well as the decrease in sales volume in the Business and General Aviation segment due to the depressed market conditions.

*(In millions)*	December 31, 2009			December 31, 2008
Operating (Loss) Income:
Business and General Aviation	$	(801.7	)	$	29.5

Customer Support		44.1			82.5
Eliminations		0.1			0.1

Total	$	(712.0	)	$	140.3

Business and General Aviation. Business and General Aviation segment operating income decreased by $831.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008. The segment recorded a charge of $340.1 million to reduce the carrying value of segment goodwill to zero and charges totaling $181.2 million as a result of other intangible asset impairments. In addition, the segment’s portion of the previously discussed charges recorded for tangible asset and inventory impairment was $60.2 million. Charges totaling $137.1 million related to reserves for loss-making aircraft and vendor claims were also recorded during the year ended December 31, 2009. A majority of the reserves for loss-making aircraft relate to the Hawker 4000. Charges totaling $91.1 million were recorded related to the Hawker 4000 program for the year ended December 31, 2008.

In addition to the charges noted above, the segment recorded 2009 charges totaling $26.0 million to reduce the carrying value of used aircraft inventory to current market values and $30.3 million related to mark-to-market adjustments on foreign currency forward contracts no longer designated as cash flow hedges because the underlying purchase volumes are no longer expected to occur. Further, $32.3 million of the total restructuring charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2009 related to this segment. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the segment recorded charges for used aircraft, ineffective foreign currency forward contracts and for restructuring of $13.7 million, $18.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Reduced general aviation deliveries as well as downward pricing pressure on new aircraft sales also contributed to the overall increase in operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Trainer/Attack Aircraft. Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment operating income increased by $17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 as a result of the increased production volumes discussed previously, offset by increased research and development costs associated with derivatives of the T-6 aircraft and smaller profit adjustments on the JPATS program during the period. Favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $6.0 million were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $14.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Customer Support. Customer Support segment operating income decreased by $38.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 due primarily to the segment’s $31.5 million portion of the impaired inventory charge recorded as discussed previously. The remaining decrease is due to the reduced sales volumes as a result of the sale of the fuel and line operations in late 2008 as well as the decline in general aviation aircraft usage as a result of recent economic conditions which adversely impacted segment sales.

Restructuring.

We recorded pre-tax charges of $34.1 million related to workforce reductions, costs to exit facilities, and related items during the year ended December 31, 2009. We undertook several restructuring actions during 2009 in response to reduced aircraft production rates due weakening in the global economy and decreased demand in the business and general aviation industry.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.

Selling, general, and administrative expense totaled $209.7 million, or 6.6% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $279.1 million, or 7.9% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease was due to lower Business and General Aviation segment selling expense as a result of decreased sales activity as well as the impact of cost reduction measures implemented throughout the company, including the work force reductions previously discussed.

Research and Development Expense.

Research and development expense totaled $107.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $110.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $2.9 million. While we increased development efforts on the T-6 derivative products in the Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment, our Business and General Aviation segment research and development efforts have decreased slightly and reflect continued efforts on our derivative aircraft strategy.

Non-operating Income/Expense, Net.

Net non-operating income was $200.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to net non-operating expense of $195.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. During 2009, we realized a gain on purchases of our debt securities of $352.1 million. Interest expense decreased by $51.3 million in 2009, compared to 2008 as a result of lower interest rates on our floating rate debt as well as reduced principal balances on the fixed rate debt as a result of the debt purchases during the first half of 2009.

Provision for Income Taxes.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a tax benefit of $60.7 million as a result of applying the intraperiod tax allocation rules to items in other comprehensive income and as a result of reversals of deferred income taxes related to impairment of goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded tax expense of $102.5 million primarily as a result of the valuation allowance and the deferred tax expense associated with our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets (“naked credits”).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow Analysis

The following table illustrates sources and uses of funds:


	Year Ended
*(In millions)*	December 31, 2010			December 31, 2009			December 31, 2008
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	297.8		$	177.1		$	(69.0	)
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities		(35.2	)		(53.3	)		50.1
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities		(408.6	)		67.4			(170.3	)
Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents		—			—			(2.7	)

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(146.0	)	$	191.2		$	(191.9	)

Year Ended December 31, 2010.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $297.8 million. Despite lower sales in 2010, our operating activities provided positive net cash performance primarily as a result from improved cash management due to better management of our inventory, partially offset by a reduction in advanced payments from customers.

Net cash used in investing activities of $35.2 million related primarily to capital expenditures for tooling in our Business and General Aviation segment and for the AT-6 program and associated tooling in our Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment.

Net cash used in financing activities of $408.6 million represents the repayment of the previously outstanding $235.0 million on the revolving credit facility as well as payments on notes payable used to finance certain aircraft engine purchases.

Year Ended December 31, 2009.

Net cash provided from operating activities was $177.1 million. The positive net cash performance was due to sharply reduced inventory levels, reflecting an increase in Hawker 4000 deliveries, lower material receipts compared to aircraft deliveries, lower levels of used aircraft inventory on-hand and better overall inventory management. Partially offsetting the inventory improvement was the operating loss for the year as well as decreased accounts payable balances as amounts due vendors associated with higher activity in late 2008 were paid early in 2009. In addition, customer deposits were reduced as a result of the decline in new orders.

Net cash used in investing activities of $53.3 million related primarily to capital expenditures for tooling in our Business and General Aviation segment and facilities improvements in our Customer Support segment.

Net cash from financing activities of $67.4 million included $235.0 million in net borrowings from our revolving credit facility as well as $188.0 million in net proceeds from the additional debt issuance in the fourth quarter of 2009. Offsetting these inflows was $136.7 million used to purchase our debt securities in the first half of 2009 and payments on notes payable used to finance engine purchases.

Year Ended December 31, 2008.

Net cash used in operating activities was $69.0 million. The net cash consumed was primarily due to an increase in inventory in connection with increased build rates for the Hawker 4000 and other aircraft models as well as the reduced delivery volume as a result of the strike by the Company’s union work force in August 2008. These impacts were partially offset by a third-party financing arrangement used to finance engine purchases, increased commercial aircraft deposits received and an increase in accounts payable and other accrued expenses. The seasonality of our aircraft deliveries coupled with a more linear aircraft production schedule also contributed to net operating cash consumption for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $50.1 million included net cash proceeds of $123.6 million from completing the sale of the fuel and line operations facilities offset by capital expenditures of $70.2 million primarily related to tooling, facilities improvements and equipment used in the manufacturing process and additions to computer software of $4.7 million.

Net cash used in financing activities of $170.3 million represented payments on notes payable used to finance engine purchases and mandatory principal payments of the senior secured term loan.

Capital Structure

Debt to total capitalization		111	%		95	%		85	%
Net debt to net capitalization		114	%		94	%		83	%

We have substantial indebtedness. As of December 31, 2010, our total indebtedness was $2,129.7 million, including $59.6 million of short-term obligations payable to a third party under a financing arrangement. We also have $37.4 million available for letter of credit issuances under a synthetic letter of credit facility. In addition, our Senior PIK-Election Notes permit us to pay interest by increasing the principal amount thereunder (“PIK-interest”) rather than paying cash interest through April 1, 2011. On September 30, 2010, we notified our noteholders that we had elected to pay the April 2011 semi-annual interest payment on our Senior PIK-Election Notes in cash. We had previously notified our noteholders of our intention to pay the October 2010 semi-annual interest payment in a similar manner.

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are largely beyond our control.

Our pension plan assets, which are broadly diversified, experienced an increase in value during 2010 following a substantial decrease in value in 2008 and a rebound in 2009. As measured under GAAP, our pension benefit plans were $351.1 million underfunded at December 31, 2010 as compared to being $296.8 million underfunded at December 31, 2009. In accordance with GAAP, we recognize the funded status of our defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefits plans in our consolidated statement of financial position, with a corresponding after-tax adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss. The 2010 annual remeasurement of our pension and other postretirement plans resulted in a net $50.5 million increase in total equity, which was primarily driven by increases in our pension service costs and actuarial losses. We currently estimate that required pension plan cash contributions will be approximately $51.7 million in 2011. For our unfunded other postretirement benefits plans, we expect to contribute approximately $0.6 million in 2011. However, absent a recovery of pension plan asset values or higher interest rates, we will be required to make higher contributions in future years. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information about our pension and other postretirement benefits plans.

Our corporate credit rating at Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services as of December 31, 2010 was Caa2 and CCC+ respectively. These were unchanged from December 31, 2009. General economic conditions during 2010, the status of the general aviation industry and our overall debt levels continued to significantly impact the fair value of our debt. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information about the fair value of our debt.

As of December 31, 2010, we had $422.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and had no outstanding borrowings on the $235.6 million available under our revolving credit facility, net of $4.7 million of outstanding letters of credit. We continue to evaluate our short- and long-term balance sheet management plans. We have taken, and continue to take, various actions to preserve our liquidity and cash position, including reduced production levels to better meet expected demand; work force reductions consistent with the lower production levels; and other cost reduction efforts including facility consolidation, sharply reduced discretionary spending and deferrals of certain product development activity. We believe these actions will result in our having sufficient liquidity to meet our cash

requirements for the next twelve months; however, additional economic deterioration may further depress the business and general aviation market and we could be required to take additional measures to meet our liquidity needs.

Notes. In connection with the Acquisition, we issued $1,100.0 million of notes, including $400.0 million of 8.5% Senior Fixed Rate Notes due April 1, 2015, $400.0 million of 8.875%/9.625% Senior PIK-Election Notes due April 1, 2015 and $300.0 million of 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due April 1, 2017. In February 2008, we exchanged these notes for new notes with identical terms, except that the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and do not bear restrictions on transferability mandated by the Securities Act or certain penalties for failure to file a registration statement relating to the exchange.

The notes are unsecured obligations and are guaranteed by certain current and future wholly-owned subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the senior secured credit facilities. Interest on the Senior Fixed Rate Notes accrues at the rate of 8.50% per annum and interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes accrues at the rate of 9.75% per annum. Cash interest on the Senior PIK-Election Notes accrues at the rate of 8.875% per annum and the PIK-interest accrues at the cash interest rate per annum plus 0.75%. Interest is payable in cash, except as discussed above with respect to our ability to elect to pay PIK-interest, rather than cash interest.

On June 2, 2009, we completed a cash tender offer to purchase a portion of our outstanding Senior Fixed Rate Notes, Senior PIK-Election Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. The tender offer, along with open market purchases executed in the first quarter of 2009, resulted in an aggregate purchase of $496.6 million aggregate principal amount of our debt securities, allowing the Company to realize a net gain of $352.1 million.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities. In connection with the Acquisition, we entered into senior secured credit facilities totaling $1,810.0 million, consisting of a $1,300.0 million term loan drawn at the close of the Acquisition, a $400.0 million, before the Second Amendment, revolving credit facility and a $110.0 million synthetic letter of credit facility. In March 2008, we reduced the synthetic letter of credit facility to $75.0 million based on our expected needs in the future. At December 31, 2010, we had issued letters of credit totaling $37.6 million under the synthetic facility and $37.4 million of available issuances.

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“Lehman”) filed for bankruptcy. One of Lehman’s subsidiaries, Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank, had a $35.0 million commitment in the Company’s revolving credit facility. We do not expect Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank to fulfill its funding obligations under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

In December 2008, we amended the credit agreement to allow us to prepay, up to a maximum of $300.0 million, the secured term loan at a discount price to par to be determined pursuant to certain auction procedures.

On November 6, 2009, we further amended our credit agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment provides that compliance with the maximum consolidated secured debt ratio test under the Credit Agreement is waived. The continuing effectiveness of this waiver is subject to the condition that we shall not have made a restricted payment pursuant to certain available restricted payment baskets under the Credit Agreement. If this condition fails to be satisfied, then the waiver of the maximum consolidated secured debt ratio covenant will be revoked and we will be required to comply (and, if revoked, compliance with the consolidated secured debt ratio will be required for the two most recently completed fiscal quarters) with the maximum consolidated secured debt ratio test in the Credit Agreement.

The Second Amendment added a new minimum liquidity covenant which requires our unrestricted cash plus available commitments under our revolving credit facility, determined in each case as of the last day of such fiscal quarter, to be at least $162.5 million.

In addition, the Second Amendment added a new Adjusted EBITDA covenant requiring that, to the extent the consolidated secured debt ratio covenant is waived as described above, for any fiscal quarter beginning with the second quarter of 2011 for which any revolving facility commitment is outstanding on the last day of such fiscal quarter, we maintain a minimum Adjusted EBITDA as specified in the Second Amendment. This Adjusted EBITDA covenant is now in effect.

The initial effectiveness of the Second Amendment was conditioned upon, among other items, the repayment of $125.0 million of our outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the permanent reduction of facility commitments by $137.0 million (which included a $12.3 million portion of the $35.0 million originally committed by Lehman).

The remaining $22.7 million portion of Lehman’s revolving commitment is not considered available as they have been unable to honor this commitment as a result of their bankruptcy. As a result of the Second Amendment and the Lehman bankruptcy, the total reduction in available commitments was $159.7 million. Following these reductions, the amount of available revolving commitments under the revolving credit facility is now $240.3 million.

On November 25, 2009, we entered into an Incremental Facility Supplement Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we were provided $200.0 million of new term loans (the “Series A New Term Loans”) under the incremental facilities provisions of the Credit Agreement. We paid a fee to the lenders on closing, in the form of an Original Issue Discount, equal to 6.0% of the agreement principal amount of the Series A New Term Loans.

The Series A New Term Loans have a final maturity date of March 26, 2014 (the same as the existing Term Loans under the Credit Agreement) and will amortize in quarterly principal installments totaling 1% annually beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The interest rates applicable to the Series A New Term Loans are equal to either a base rate or an adjusted Eurocurrency bank deposit rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. For base rate loans, the applicable margin is 7.5% and for Eurocurrency loans, the applicable margin is 8.5%. The base rate has a floor of 3.0% and the Eurocurrency bank deposit rate has a floor of 2.0%. Voluntary prepayments of the Series A New Term Loans are permitted, in whole or in part, at the U.S. Borrower’s option, without premium or penalty. Voluntary prepayments of the Series A New Term Loans will be applied to remaining scheduled amortization installments in an order to be determined at our option. The terms of the Series A New Term Loans are otherwise governed by and subject to the Credit Agreement. After fees and the original issue discount, net proceeds to the Company were $180.4 million with the proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.

Debt Covenants. The indentures governing the notes and the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities contain a number of covenants imposing significant restrictions on our business. These restrictions may affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise. The restrictions these covenants place on us include limitations on our ability to:

•

incur indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock;

•

pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock;

•

make investments or acquisitions;

•

create liens;

•

sell assets;

•

engage in sale and leaseback transactions;

•

restrict dividends or other payments to us;

•

guarantee indebtedness;

•

engage in transactions with affiliates; and

•

consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets.

Our excess cash flow, as defined under the credit agreement, and our year-end consolidated secured debt ratio determines the annual amount of mandatory term loan prepayment due under our credit agreement, if any. The consolidated secured debt ratio is the ratio of our consolidated secured debt less cash on hand at the end of each period divided by a rolling 12-month calculation of our debt covenant defined earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“DC EBITDA”). DC EBITDA is calculated based on the Company’s net income adjusted for (i) interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense; (ii) non-recurring transition costs as a result of the Acquisition; (iii) non-recurring inventory step-up costs and other non-recurring purchase accounting impacts; (iv) non-cash compensation expense; (v) project start up, ramp up and launch costs including the development of new aircraft; (vi) management fees paid to our principal external shareholders; (vii) minority interest adjustments;

and (viii) miscellaneous other adjustments. Based on our 2010 excess cash flow and the consolidated secured debt ratio, as defined under the credit agreement, we made a mandatory term loan principal prepayment in 2011 of $44.5 million. As discussed above, the Second Amendment provides that compliance with the maximum consolidated secured debt ratio covenant is waived under certain conditions and our new EBITDA covenant is in effect.

As of December 31, 2010, we were in full compliance with all covenants contained in our debt agreements.

Industrial Revenue Bonds. One of our subsidiaries uses Industrial Revenue Bonds (“IRBs”) issued by Sedgwick County, Kansas to finance the purchase and/or development of certain real and personal property. Tax benefits associated with the IRBs include a provision for a 10-year ad valorem property tax abatement and retail sales tax exemption on the property financed with the proceeds of the IRBs. Sedgwick County holds legal title to the bond financed assets and leases them to the Company subject to an option to purchase for a nominal consideration, which the Company may exercise at any time. We record the property on our consolidated statement of financial position, along with a capital lease obligation to repay the proceeds of the IRBs. Moreover, as holder of the bonds, we have the right to offset the amounts due by our subsidiary with the amounts due to us; accordingly, no net debt associated with the IRBs is reflected in our consolidated statement of financial position. Upon maturity or redemption of the bonds, title to the leased property reverts to our subsidiary. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, we held IRBs with an aggregate principal amount of $286.8 million and $331.5 million, respectively.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes known contractual obligations as of December 31, 2010, as well as an estimate of when these obligations are expected to be satisfied:

The table above excludes $0.9 million of tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions for which we cannot reasonably estimate the timing of payment.

Long-term debt obligations include scheduled principal repayments for our outstanding notes and senior secured term loan, including the current portion. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information.

Interest on long-term debt is estimated using the interest rate in effect at December 31, 2010 for variable rate debt. Calculations of interest for the PIK-election notes assume payment of interest in cash. The calculation includes the effect of our interest rate swap agreement, which is discussed more fully in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Operating lease obligations include leases for equipment, office buildings and other facilities under leases that include standard escalation clauses for adjusting rent payments to reflect changes in price indices, as well as renewal options. Our commitments under these operating leases, in the form of non-cancelable future lease payments, are not reflected as a liability on our statement of financial position. See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Purchase obligations in the table above represent agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the purchase. We enter into contracts with some customers, primarily the U.S. Government, which entitles us to full recourse for costs incurred, including purchase obligations, in the event the contract is terminated by the customer for convenience. These purchase obligations are included above notwithstanding the amount for which we are entitled to full recourse from our customers.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We use customary off-balance sheet arrangements, such as operating leases and letters of credit, in the normal course of our business. We may, from time to time, instruct banks to issue letters of credit on our behalf to support cash deposits and to guarantee the performance of our contractual obligations. None of these arrangements has or is likely to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information about off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

Since the primary elements of our operating costs are purchased components and raw materials, annual escalation in commodity and materials pricing could have a significant impact on our product cost. We have long-term agreements with many of our major suppliers to minimize potential price volatility. In some cases, our supply arrangements contain inflationary adjustment provisions based on accepted industry indices, and we typically include an inflation component in estimating our supply costs.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect our financial position and results of operations that are reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as well as the related disclosure of assets and liabilities contingent upon future events.

Understanding the critical accounting policies discussed below and related risks is important in evaluating our financial position and results of operations. We believe the following accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are critical to our financial position and results of operations as they involve the significant use of estimates and judgment on matters that are inherently uncertain. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. If actual results differ significantly from management’s estimates, there could be a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

For the majority of our aircraft sales, we use the units-of-delivery method to measure progress towards completion. Actual sales and cost values for the unit being delivered are used as the basis for recording revenue and its associated margin. Under this method, revenue is recognized when title to an airworthy aircraft is transferred to the customer.

To a lesser extent, we use the cost-to-cost method to measure progress towards completion. The use of the cost-to-cost method is limited to longer term contracts with substantial contract-specific development or engineering cost. For these contracts, management believes the cost-to-cost method provides a better measure of progress towards completion than the units-of-delivery method. Under this method, incurred cost and estimated margin are recorded as revenue based on the ratio of costs incurred-to-date to total estimated costs at the completion of the contract. Accordingly, management must apply judgment to determine the estimated contract revenue and costs at completion. Total contract revenue estimates are based on negotiated contract prices and quantities. Estimated amounts for contract changes and claims are included in contract sales only when realization is estimated to be probable. Total contract cost projections require management to make numerous assumptions and estimates relating to items such as the complexity of design, availability and cost of materials, labor productivity and cost, overhead and capital costs and operational efficiency. Contract estimates are reviewed periodically to determine whether revisions to contract values or estimated costs at completion are necessary. The effects of changes in estimates resulting from any such revisions are reflected in the period the estimates are revised using a cumulative catch-up adjustment. Claims are included in revenue estimates only when it is probable that a reliably estimated increase in contract value will be realized. To the extent estimated total costs on a contract exceed the total estimate of revenue to be earned from the contract, the full value of the estimated loss is recorded in the period the loss is identified.

We recognize revenue on aircraft parts and services as the part is shipped or as the service is rendered.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred income tax assets to an amount that, in the opinion of management, will more likely than not be realized. During the fourth quarter of 2008, HBAC recorded a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2008 in the amount of $296.9 million. This decision was based on our cumulative pre-tax losses and the need to generate significant amounts of taxable income in future periods in order to utilize existing deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was $379.7 million at December 31, 2009. Our valuation allowance increased $131.5 million during the twelve months ending December 31, 2010 to $511.2 million. The increase in valuation allowance was a result of an increase in our U.S. deferred tax assets, primarily related to U.S. federal and state net operating losses.

HBAC records an income tax expense or benefit based on the net income earned or net loss incurred in each tax jurisdiction and the tax rate applicable to that income or loss. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. These uncertainties are accounted for in accordance with applicable literature. The final tax outcome of these matters may be different than the estimates originally made by management in determining the income tax provision. A change to these estimates could impact the effective tax rate and, subsequently, net income or net loss. The effect of changes in tax rates is recognized during the period in which the rate change occurs.

Pension Benefits

We have defined benefit pension and retirement plans covering the majority of our non-union employees hired prior to January 1, 2007 in addition to all of our union employees. Accounting standards require the cost of providing these pension plans be measured on an actuarial basis. These accounting standards will generally reduce, but not eliminate, the volatility of the reported pension obligation and related pension expense as actuarial gains and losses resulting from both normal year-to-year changes in valuation assumptions and the differences from actual experience are deferred and amortized. The application of these accounting standards requires management to make numerous assumptions and judgments that can significantly affect these measurements. Critical assumptions made by management in performing these actuarial valuations include the selection of discount rates and expectations on the future rate of return on pension plan assets.

The net periodic benefit cost assumptions for our defined benefit pension plans were as follows:


	Pension Benefits
	Year			Year			Year
	Ended			Ended			Ended
	December 31,			December 31,			December 31,
	2010			2009			2008
Discount rate		6.00	%		6.25	%		6.50	%
Expected rate of return on plan assets		8.00	%		8.00	%		8.00	%
Rate of compensation increase		3.50	%		3.50	%		4.50	%

Discount rates are used to determine the present value of our pension obligations and also affect the amount of pension expense recorded in any given period. We estimate this discount rate based on the rates of return of high quality, fixed-income investments with maturity dates that reflect the expected time horizon over which benefits will be paid. Changes in the discount rate could have a material effect on our reported pension obligations and related pension expense.

The expected rate of return on plan assets is our estimate of the long-term earnings rate on our pension plan assets and is based upon both historical long-term actual and expected future investment returns considering the current investment mix of plan assets, which is shown in the table below. Differences between the actual and expected rate of return on plan assets can impact our expense for pension benefits.

Our investment asset allocations were as follows:


	December 31,			December 31,
	2010			2009
Equity securities		50.7	%		54.1	%
Debt securities		40.4	%		38.0	%
Other		8.9	%		7.9	%

		100.0	%		100.0	%

Other variables that can impact the pension funded status and expense include demographic experience, such as the rates of salary increase, retirement, turnover and mortality. Assumptions for these variables are set based on actual and projected plan experience.

Based on our assumptions, we expect 2011 pension expense to be approximately $52.7 million. Holding all other factors constant, the estimated impact on 2011 pension expense caused by hypothetical changes to key assumptions is as follows:


	Change in Assumption
2011 Assumptions	25 Basis Point Increase	25 Basis Point Decrease
Discount Rate	$3.9 pension expense decrease	$3.9 pension expense increase
Expected rate of return on plan assets	$1.8 pension expense decrease	$1.8 pension expense increase

In addition, at December 31, 2010 we had $257.7 million of deferred losses resulting primarily from differences between actual and assumed asset returns, changes in discount rates and differences between actual and assumed demographic experience. To the extent we continue to have fluctuations in these items, we will experience increases or decreases in our funded status and related accrued retiree benefit obligation.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets are recorded at cost or, when acquired as part of a business combination, at estimated fair value. Intangible assets with definite lives consist of certain trade names and trademarks, order backlog, customer relationships, technological knowledge and computer software and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The weighted average amortization periods assigned to definite-lived intangible assets are: 3 years for order backlog, 8 years for computer software, 10 years for trademarks and trade names with definite lives, 15 years for technological knowledge and 17 years for customer relationships. Intangible assets with indefinite lives include certain trademarks and trade names and are not amortized.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are instead reviewed for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or upon the occurrence of events that may indicate possible impairment. HBAC conducts its review for impairment on an operating segment basis.

The assumptions, inputs and judgments used in performing the valuation analysis are inherently subjective and reflect estimates based on known facts and circumstances at the time the Company performs the valuation. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, the discount rate; terminal growth rate; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and capital expenditures forecasts. The use of different assumptions, inputs and judgments, or changes in circumstances, could materially affect the results of the valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from our estimates. The following is a description of the primary valuation methodologies used to derive the fair value of the reporting segments:

•

Income Approach: To determine fair value, the Company discounted the expected cash flows of the reporting units. In estimating future cash flows, the Company relied on internally generated five-year

forecasts for sales and operating profits, including capital expenditures, and generally a three percent long-term assumed annual growth rate of cash flows for periods after the five-year forecast. Discount rates were determined by weighting the required returns on interest-bearing debt and paid-in capital in proportion to their estimated percentages in an expected industry capital structure. Based on our analysis, the discount rates estimated for the segments carrying goodwill were 10% for Trainer/Attack Aircraft and 13% for Customer Support.

•

Market-Comparable Approach: The Company makes use of market price data of stocks of companies engaged in the same or similar line of businesses as that of the reporting unit. Specifically, the Company calculated multiples of total enterprise value (TEV) to EBITDA for comparable companies using data for the latest twelve months (LTM) ended September 2010, and for the 2011 projected year. In determining the concluded range of trailing and forward multiples, the Company compared the historical and expected performance of the comparable companies to those of the reporting units. The selected range of multiples were then multiplied by the LTM and projected 2011 EBITDA of these reporting units to determine fair value.

•

Market Transaction Approach: The Company assessed EBITDA multiples realized in actual purchase transactions of comparable companies. After the Company adjusted these multiples to account for the current economic climate, versus the period during which the transactions occurred, they were applied to the LTM EBITDA of the reporting units to determine fair value.

Equal weightings were assigned to the aforementioned model results to arrive at a final fair value estimate of the reporting unit.

The necessity for, and the amount of, any goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step is to identify if a potential impairment is indicated by comparing the fair value of a segment with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the goodwill of the segment unit is not considered to be impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. However, if the carrying amount of a segment exceeds its fair value, the second step is performed for that reporting unit to determine if goodwill is impaired and to measure the amount of impairment loss that should be recognized, if any.

The second step, if necessary, compares the implied fair value of a segment’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that reporting unit’s goodwill. The process of determining such implied fair value of goodwill involves allocating the reporting unit’s fair value as determined in step one to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying amount, then goodwill is not considered impaired. However, if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Impairments of indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset, or related groups of assets, may not be recoverable, and our estimate of discounted cash flows over the assets’ remaining useful lives is less than the carrying value of the assets. The fair value of these intangibles is measured using the relief-from-royalty method. This method is used to estimate the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset who would otherwise have to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The royalty rate based on an analysis of empirical, market-derived royalty rates for comparable companies and an analysis of the profitability of the underlying businesses utilizing the name and related marks. The market-derived royalty rate is then applied to estimate the royalty savings. The net after-tax royalty savings are discounted using the weighted average cost of capital of our Business and General Aviation segment. Any excess carrying value over the fair value represents the amount of impairment.

Additional information regarding these charges, and the methodology used in performing the impairment testing are included in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Impairment of Definite-Lived Assets

Management determines whether definite-lived assets are to be held-for-use or held-for-disposal. Upon indication of possible impairment, management evaluates the recoverability of held-for-use definite-lived assets by

measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. When an evaluation indicates that the future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. In order for definite-lived assets to be considered held-for-disposal, management must have committed to a plan to dispose of the assets. Once deemed held-for-disposal, the assets are stated at the lower of carrying amount or net realizable value.

We will continue to perform our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter each year absent any impairment indicators or other changes that may necessitate more frequent impairment analysis.

See additional disclosure of these analyses in Note 9 and Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus including the impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Product Warranty

Warranty provisions related to commercial aircraft and parts sales are determined based upon an estimate of costs that may be incurred for warranty services over the period of coverage from one to five years with limited additional coverage up to 10 years on the Hawker 4000. The Company estimates its warranty costs based on historical warranty claim experience. The warranty accrual is reviewed quarterly to verify that it appropriately reflects the estimated remaining obligation based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the obligation period. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience causes management to revise its estimates. The effects of changes in estimates are reflected in the period the estimates are revised.

Warranty provisions related to aircraft deliveries on contracts accounted for using the cost-to-cost method to measure progress towards completion are recorded as contract costs as the work is performed. The estimation of these costs is an integral part of the revenue recognition process for these contracts.

Should future warranty experience differ materially from our historical experience, we may be required to record additional warranty liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows in the period in which these additional liabilities are required.

Fair Value

We are required to record certain financial instruments at fair value on our statement of financial position. In addition, we may elect to record certain financial instruments at fair value by utilizing the “fair value option” as permitted under authoritative literature. However, as of December 31, 2010, we have not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.

As discussed in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, we adopted guidance related to fair values effective January 1, 2008. This guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three broad categories:

Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; observable inputs other than quoted prices; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs reflecting the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

We maximize the use of our observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

We estimate the fair value of our derivatives using an income valuation approach. The fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts is calculated as the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. The fair value of our interest rate swap is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate yield curve. Our fair value measurements also

incorporate credit risk. For derivatives in a liability position, we incorporate our own credit risk, and, for derivatives in an asset position, we incorporate our counterparty’s credit risk. To measure credit risk, we modify our discount rate to include the applicable credit spread, which is calculated as the difference between the relevant entity’s yield curve (or average yield curve for similarly rated companies, if the specific entity’s yield curve is not available) and LIBOR, for the derivative. Significant inputs to these valuation models include forward rates, interest rates and yield curves, which are obtained from third-party pricing services. These inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data and are therefore considered to be Level 2 inputs. Our valuations do not include any significant Level 3, or unobservable, inputs. We test the validity of our valuations by comparing them to the valuations we receive from our counterparties.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to the authoritative guidance for revenue recognition related to multiple-deliverable arrangements. This update removes the objective-and-reliable-evidence-of-fair-value criterion from the separation criteria used to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting, replaces references to “fair value” with “selling price” to distinguish from the fair value measurements required under the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures, provides a hierarchy that entities must use to estimate the selling price, eliminates the use of the residual method for allocation, and expands the ongoing disclosure requirements. This update is effective in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted this policy during the year ended December 31, 2010 on a prospective basis.

In January 2010, the FASB issued new standards in the ASC topic on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. These standards require new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements. The standards also require disclosure of activities, including purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurements. The standards also clarify existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures regarding Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and clarification of existing disclosures were effective for the Company beginning with the Company’s Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The disclosures about the rollforward of information in Level 3 are required for the Company with its first interim filing in 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2010 are not expected to have a material effect on our cash flows.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk on payments made to foreign suppliers in foreign currencies. We may use foreign currency forward contracts (“foreign currency contracts”) to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for firm commitments and forecasted purchases from foreign suppliers. The objective of these foreign currency contracts is to minimize the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on the results of our operations and cash flows. All foreign currency contracts have been executed with creditworthy banks and were denominated in U.K. pound sterling. The duration of foreign currency contracts generally has been two years or less. We do not use foreign currency contracts for speculative or trading purposes. We account for the foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges when they qualify for such treatment. The following table provides information about our foreign currency contracts outstanding at December 31, 2010:

(Dollar in millions)


Maturity	Notional Amount⁽¹⁾		Weighted- Average Contract Rate		Weighted- Average Market Rate		Fair Value of Net Liability		Impact on Fair Value of 10% Increase In Market Rate
2011	$	0.3		1.886		1.561	$	—	$	—

	$	0.3					$	—	$	—

(1)	Notional amounts are stated in U.S. dollar equivalents at the contract rate.

For more information about our foreign currency contracts, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Interest Rate Risk

We have substantial indebtedness, including both fixed and variable rate debt obligations, and are subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt obligations, which primarily relate to amounts outstanding under our senior secured credit facilities. Our outstanding debt obligations at December 31, 2010 were as follows:


			Weighted-
	Amount Outstanding		Average
(Dollars in millions)	Amount Outstanding		Interest Rate
Fixed-rate debt⁽¹⁾	$	1,080.6		7.19	%
Variable-rate debt		1,058.4		2.26	%

Total debt	$	2,139.0

(1)	Includes effect of interest rate swaps.

We entered into an interest rate swap agreement in April 2007 to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our variable rate debt obligations and to attain an appropriate balance between fixed and variable rate debt. This interest rate swap has a notional amount of $150.0 million that matures on December 31, 2011.

We entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement in June 2009. The additional swap has a notional amount of $300.0 million and matures on June 30, 2011.

Our counterparty syndicated 40% of our April 2007 swap agreement by entering into risk participation agreements with a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc. (“Lehman”) and another financial institution. On September 15, 2008, Lehman filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which triggered termination of its risk participation agreement with our counterparty. As agreed with our counterparty, the swap was amended to increase the fixed rate by four basis points to 4.95% to compensate our counterparty for assuming the additional credit risk. For more information about our outstanding debt obligations and interest rate swap, see Notes 13 and 11, respectively, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Assuming the debt levels that existed on December 31, 2010, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the interest rate of each of our variable-rate debt obligations would increase our 2011 projected interest expense by $8.7 million.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to the risk that third parties that owe us money, securities or other assets will not perform their obligations. These parties may default on their obligations to us due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational

failure or other reasons. Generally, our primary credit risk exposure results from our use of derivative financial instruments. As of December 31, 2010, we had no derivative assets. As of December 31, 2010, our derivative counterparties had S&P credit ratings of A.

BUSINESS

Our Company

Our Products and Services

We conduct our business through three segments: Business and General Aviation, Trainer/Attack Aircraft and Customer Support. A description of our business segments is set forth below.

Business and General Aviation

Business Jets. Our business jet offerings include the Hawker 4000, the Hawker 987 family, the Hawker 400XP, the Hawker 200 and the Beechcraft Premier IA.

The Hawker 4000 received Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) type and production certification in June 2008. The flagship of the Hawker line, the composite fuselage Hawker 4000 sets the standard for quality, performance and value in the super-midsize business jet class. With a 3,280 nautical mile non-stop range and cruise speeds up to Mach 0.84, it features a sophisticated composite fuselage, all metal supercritical wing, powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada FADEC-controlled engines and state-of-the-art Honeywell Primus EPIC avionics. According to GAMA data, the Hawker 4000 had a 33% share of the super midsize aircraft segment in 2010.

We began deliveries of the Hawker 900XP in 2007. From the best-selling midsized business jet lineage (the Hawker 800 series), the Hawker 900XP has combined new Honeywell engines with enhanced winglets, an approximate 2,900 nautical mile non-stop range and a large cabin for increased performance, range, efficiency, comfort and compelling value.

In 2008, we began deliveries of the Hawker 750, an offering in the light midsize aircraft segment with additional cargo capacity, state-of-the-art avionics, a wider cabin than typical aircraft in its class and a range of approximately 2,200 nautical miles that is well suited for European-based operators. According to the GAMA data, the Hawker 900XP family had a combined 36% share of the midsize aircraft segment and 12% of the light midsize aircraft segment in 2010.

With the largest cabin of any comparable aircraft, the Hawker 400XP has been one of the preferred light jets for the fractional market and corporations worldwide. It is the fastest light business jet of its class. In response to the challenging market, HBC announced it is suspending production of the Hawker 400XP light jet in 2011 until such time market demand improves.

Truly an advanced technology light jet, the Premier IA offers customers an industry-leading combination of speed, cabin size and efficiency. With its single-pilot certification, advanced composite construction, seven-passenger seating and a top cruise speed of more than 500 miles per hour, the Premier IA offers operational flexibility. According to GAMA data, the Premier IA had an 8% share of the entry level aircraft segment in 2010.

Introduced in October 2010 and evolving from the Premier IA, the Hawker 200 is a new light business jet that features higher cruise speeds, a 20% longer range and increased payload. The Hawker 200 still offers the largest cabin and is a technologically advanced single-pilot business jet. Its performance, cabin and technology provide an ideal light jet choice for pilot owners and business operators. On a typical mission, it can cruise at 450 knots, fly at 43,000 feet and travel more than 1,200 nautical miles nonstop. This incredible performance comes with lower acquisition and operating costs than, we believe, any competitor can offer.

Turboprops. King Air is a leading name in turboprop aircraft, with approximately 41% of the passenger turboprop market in 2010, according to the GAMA data.

The King Air family is sold under the Beechcraft^® brand and is currently comprised of the King Air 350i, B200GT/250 and C90GTx, and has ranges of approximately 1,800, 1,600 and 1,300 nautical miles, respectively. The King Air 350i, B200GT/250 and C90GTx typically are configured to carry nine passengers, seven passengers and five passengers, respectively, and can all be operated by a single pilot. Its squared-oval cabin design provides a spacious feel in the interior. The King Air 350i is the flagship of the King Air models with the most advanced performance and largest interior seating capacity. Now equipped with the Rockwell Collins Venue™ cabin management system and state-of-the-art Beechcraft FlexCabin capability, the new King Air 350i sets the standard in cabin comfort, entertainment and flexibility while delivering unmatched fuel efficiency and the lowest operating cost per seat mile, making it one of the greenest aircraft available to business travelers today. The King Air B200GT cruises at 35,000 feet and handles runways as short as 2,600 feet. It also offers a comparatively low maintenance cost for its class and hourly operating costs lower than jet competitors. The King Air B200GT entered the market as a direct response to customer feedback desiring faster cruise speeds. The King Air B200GT has a maximum cruise speed of 305 knots as a result of a new engine developed specifically for the King Air B200GT. In October 2010, Hawker Beechcraft announced the new King Air 250. Building on a reputation of proven performance, the next-generation King Air 250 features composite winglets and lightweight composite propellers, delivering improved runway performance, range, speed and enhanced climb. The King Air 250 further defines mission reliability with a ram air recovery system that maintains peak performance when the anti-icing system is activated, resulting in a high-performance, all-weather aircraft. First deliveries of the King Air 250 are expected in second quarter 2011.

In 2009, the company announced the launch of the Beechcraft King Air C90GTx. Key enhancements to the new King Air C90GTx include an increase in gross weight and the addition of composite winglets, which improve climb performance and further increase fuel efficiency. The C90GTx features a cabin 50 percent larger than some very light jets and seats up to seven passengers in its famed squared-oval design, allowing greater passenger comfort. It includes an in-flight accessible, heated and pressurized baggage storage area along with a private aft lavatory as standard.

Pistons. Our entry-level piston aircraft, the Beechcraft Baron and Beechcraft Bonanza models, are leaders in the executive piston aircraft market. The twin-engine Baron G58 and single-engine Bonanza G36 can carry up to five passengers and can be operated by one pilot. Both models have a sophisticated avionics suite and one of the most advanced autopilot systems offered in piston aircraft today.

The twin-engine piston aircraft that pilots aspire to own, the Baron G58 offers unmatched performance and range/payload capabilities in its segment. It also features a premium cabin that provides the best ride of any twin-engine aircraft, including flexible seating that allows for seating of two, four or six people, with the option to reconfigure and remove seats to accommodate mission needs and large baggage items. Its flight deck includes fully integrated Garmin G1000^® avionics with a GFC 700 flight control system and new GWX 68 color weather radar.

The Bonanza G36 is the most prestigious high-performance single-engine piston on the market, offering six-passenger comfort and cabin flexibility not found in similarly priced four-seat aircraft. The Bonanza G36 also features Garmin G1000^® avionics and a GFC 700 flight control system, making the best selling personal aircraft the most capable Bonanza yet.

Special Mission Aircraft. Hawker Beechcraft also markets, produces and supports a whole range of special-mission aircraft for militaries and governments worldwide. Missionized versions of the Beechcraft King Air series and pistons, as well as Hawker 400XP and Hawker 800 series, are currently in service worldwide. Our new Beechcraft King Air 350ER offers extended range and a variety of surveillance radar, ISR, air ambulance and special-mission capabilities.

Trainer/Attack Aircraft

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, sales in the Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment were approximately 24%, 17% and 9% of total consolidated sales.

Customer Support

Customers and Distribution Methods

Our diverse customer base includes corporations, fractional and charter operators, governments and individuals around the world. We currently have an extensive global network of general aviation dealers, regional sales representatives and distributors who market our products around the world. We employ specialized sales teams for our products. We sell parts through a variety of channels, including our headquarters in Wichita, Kansas, and our 10 company-owned and more than 100 company-authorized third party service centers. We also sell support services through our company-owned service centers.

We continue to develop our sales resources to address markets outside the U.S. We currently have the largest installed fleet of turboprop and business jet aircraft in Latin America and Africa, and we believe our King Air products are ideally suited for the level of infrastructure available in many developing nations. We continue to market our T-6A trainers and its derivatives to foreign governments. For the year ended December 31, 2010, 45% of our sales were from outside the U.S. For additional information related to our sales derived outside of the U.S., see Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

For 2010, one customer, the U.S. Government, represented approximately 30% of our sales, primarily from our Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment. Our top 10 customers represented approximately 43% of sales during the same period. The U.S. Government accounts for a significant portion of our backlog through the JPATS program. A significant reduction in purchases by the U.S. Government could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Competition

Competition in the Business and General Aviation segment is based on price, quality, product support, performance, reliability, product innovation and reputation. The Hawker^® and Beechcraft^® brands are known for innovation, performance, quality and value, which support the leading market positions for our aircraft. For example, the Hawker 900XP and King Air product families are the best selling business jet and turboprop lines, respectively, in the history of the general aviation industry. Competition is driven by the ability to deliver superior performance and features, such as increased cabin size or range, on a cost-effective basis. We have five major competitors in the business and general aviation industry: Cessna Aircraft Company, Bombardier Aerospace, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, Dassault Falcon Jet Corp. and Embraer S.A.

The Trainer/Attack Aircraft segment operates in the military aviation business and is the sole source provider of the world’s best selling primary military trainer aircraft, the T-6 and its variants, to the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy. Outside the U.S., we compete for primary military trainer contracts with companies including Pilatus Aircraft Ltd., Embraer S.A., Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd., Alenia Aermacchi, EADS, Grob Aircraft AG and Lockheed Martin Corporation. It is anticipated the Light Attack Aircraft will compete primarily with the Super Tucano offered by Embraer Defense Systems.

Competition in the Customer Support segment is based upon price, quality, performance, innovation and reputation. Providing superior service and support is considered the primary mission of our parts and maintenance organizations within Customer Support. Direct competition against those parts and maintenance activities comes mostly from a multitude of privately-owned maintenance facilities, repair shops, parts brokers and parts distributors located across the global market. Most of these competitors are regionally focused without any significant concentration of market share by any one competitor. Our Customer Support segment seeks to increase our share of the aftermarket services provided to our customers by continuing to improve our service standards, leveraging our product knowledge, expanding our product offerings and improving distribution capabilities. We seek to reach industry-leading service levels and to improve the profitability of our company-owned service network.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately 6,800 employees, 47% of whom were covered by collective bargaining agreements. Approximately 2,900 of our hourly employees at our Wichita and Salina, Kansas facilities are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (“IAM”) which expires on August 7, 2011. Our Little Rock, Arkansas facility, which has approximately 500 employees, and our U.S. service facilities, which collectively have approximately 700 employees, are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Our service facility in Chester, England has a one-year union contract covering approximately 300 employees that expired on March 31, 2011. We are in the process of negotiating a new agreement.

Suppliers and Raw Materials

Our key supplies vary from raw materials, such as aluminum, to completed aircraft components and major assemblies, such as engines, avionics, fuselages and wings. We expect that major aircraft systems and structures will continue to comprise a substantial portion of our supply costs. Pricing arrangements with our suppliers generally include multi-year contracts with fixed-price and/or annual price adjustment clauses based on published economic indices.

A significant portion of components in each of our aircraft designs, such as engines and avionics, is co-developed with our suppliers and, therefore, are often sole-sourced with the supplier of a particular component. The majority of our supplies are custom ordered, engineered into the aircraft design and governed by FAA and other comparable international agencies aircraft certification. Therefore, changing an existing supplier’s design is often cost-prohibitive because it requires re-certification.

Approximately 45% of our direct material purchases are from the following four major suppliers: Pratt & Whitney Canada (engines), Honeywell (engines, avionics, environmental control, auxiliary power units and lighting), Rockwell Collins (avionics) and Airbus (certain wings and fuselages). Pratt & Whitney Canada approximates 19% of our direct material purchases. Honeywell approximates 10% of our direct material purchases.

Working Capital

In recent years, a significant portion of our Business and General Aviation aircraft deliveries have occurred during the second half of the year. Given the long lead time involved in the production of aircraft, it is necessary to build aircraft throughout the year in support of the higher second half delivery volume. As a result, our working capital levels typically rise during the first three quarters of the year and are reduced significantly during the fourth quarter. Any disruptions to our business or delivery schedule during the second half of the year, as occurred during 2008 as a result of the strike by our Wichita and Salina, Kansas union work force, could have a disproportionate effect on our full-year financial operating results. Business for the Trainer/Attack Aircraft and Customer Support segments is not generally seasonal in nature.

Backlog

Our backlog is summarized below:


	December 31, 2010						December 31, 2009
(In millions)	Funded		Unfunded		Total		Funded		Unfunded		Total
Business and General Aviation	$	782.6	$	—	$	782.6	$	2,247.2	$	—	$	2,247.2
Trainer/Attack		584.4		40.8		625.2		1,003.9		108.1		1,112.0

Total	$	1,367.0	$	40.8	$	1,407.8	$	3,251.1	$	108.1	$	3,359.2

Orders for aircraft are included in backlog upon receipt of an executed contract. Unfunded backlog represents U.S. and foreign government contracts for which funding has not yet been appropriated. Our backlog includes significant orders with the U.S. Government. Due to the nature of the work performed, the Customer Support segment does not have backlog. 28.2% of our total backlog at December 31, 2010 represents orders that are not expected to be filled in 2011. In late June 2010, NetJets, Inc. (“NetJets”) cancelled orders for 23 aircraft. The impact of the cancellation was to reduce backlog by $0.4 billion; however, none of the cancelled orders were scheduled for delivery in 2010 and only one was scheduled for delivery in 2011. We have no remaining backlog with NetJets.

Research and Development

Our research and development efforts are focused on developing technologies that will improve our existing products and our manufacturing processes. We believe derivative models refresh our product line and typically generate increased sales volume. Over the past five years, we have successfully introduced 15 new or derivative models. We plan to focus future research and development efforts on derivative models of our existing aircraft.

Our development effort is an ongoing process that helps us increase the value of our products and expand into new markets. We are currently focused on research in areas such as advanced metallic joining, low cost composites, noise attenuation, efficient structures, systems integration, advanced design and analysis methods and new material application. We collaborate with our major suppliers on product upgrades and often share the associated costs.

Research and development expenditures were $101.1 million, $107.3 million, and $110.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

(1)	Our Corporate Headquarters are located in Wichita, Kansas. All three of our business segments, Business and General Aviation, Trainer Aircraft and Customer Support, have operations located at our Corporate Headquarters. All operations for our Trainer Aircraft segment are in Wichita, Kansas.

At December 31, 2010, our Customer Support segment operated 10 company-owned service centers in the following locations: Wichita, Kansas; Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Mesa, Arizona; Indianapolis, Indiana; Little Rock, Arkansas; Tampa, Florida; San Antonio, Texas; Toluca, Mexico; and Chester, England. These centers are supplemented by more than 100 company-authorized third party service centers. Service centers typically provide maintenance, repairs, overhaul, refurbishment and product upgrade services.

Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time subject to, and are presently involved in, litigation or other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are a defendant in a number of product liability lawsuits with respect to accidents involving our aircraft that allege personal injury and property damage and seek substantial recoveries, including, in some cases, punitive and exemplary damages. We maintain partial insurance coverage against such claims at a level determined by management to be prudent (see Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this prospectus). In addition, Raytheon retained all product liability claims arising from incidents occurring after April 1, 2001 until March 25, 2007. We cannot predict the outcome of these matters or whether Raytheon will uphold its indemnity obligations (see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business” included elsewhere in this prospectus). We are at risk of losses and adverse publicity stemming from any accident involving aircraft for which we hold design authority. The outcome of litigation in which we have been named as a defendant is unpredictable and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In July 2007, the FAA informed us that it had initiated an investigation concerning compliance by one of our suppliers with part specifications involving our T-6A trainers and certain special mission King Air aircraft sold to

the U.S. government. HBAC has reached a settlement with the FAA with respect to this matter. It does not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. The settlement was neither an admission of liability or wrongdoing by HBAC, and there was no finding of any regulatory or other violation.

In April 2009, HBAC received a complaint naming it as a defendant in a qui tam lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. The complaint alleged violations of the civil False Claims Act (“FCA”) arising from alleged supplier non-conformance with specifications and HBAC’s alleged inadequate quality control over the supplier’s manufacturing process on certain T-6 and King Air aircraft delivered to the government. The lawsuit, United States ex rel. Minge, et al. v. Turbine Engine Components Technologies Corporation, et al., No. 07-1212-MLB (D. Kan.), alleged FCA causes of action against HBAC (and its predecessor, Raytheon Aircraft Company) and FCA causes of action, retaliation causes of action, and a tort cause of action against TECT Aerospace Wellington, Inc. (“TECT”), an HBAC supplier, and various affiliates of TECT. On February 3, 2010, the District of Kansas court granted HBAC’s motion for summary judgment in the qui tam case. The Court permitted the FCA retaliation cause of action to proceed against TECT. On June 1, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a motion to reconsider the order granting summary judgment and a motion to amend the complaint. On August 2, 2010, the Court denied plaintiffs’ motion to reconsider the order but granted plaintiffs’ leave to file an amended complaint. On September 29, 2010, HBAC filed an Answer and Affirmative Defenses. Discovery is pending pursuant to a November 12, 2010 Scheduling Order. No accruals have been recorded for this matter as of December 31, 2010.

On April 7, 2009, Airbus UK Ltd. (“Airbus”) filed a Request for Arbitration (“RFA”) with the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) in Paris initiating proceedings against HBAC. Airbus alleges that HBAC breached its obligations under the Airframe Purchase and Support Agreement dated August 19, 1998 between Airbus and HBAC. More particularly, Airbus claims that it and HBAC reached agreement in April of 2008 for HBAC to purchase increased volumes of fuselages, wings, track kits and spare parts (collectively the “shipsets”) in the 2008 to 2010 time frame. Airbus further alleges that (i) beginning in late 2008, HBAC unilaterally reduced the number of shipsets that it would purchase in breach of its contractual obligations and (ii) that Airbus made substantial investments to expand its production capacity at the urging of HBAC and in reliance on alleged expanded commitments from HBAC. On December 23, 2009, Airbus filed its Statement of Claim, which seeks an award of damages potentially in excess of £40 million. HBAC filed its Statement of Defense and Counterclaim on April 5, 2010 denying liability and asserting a counterclaim against Airbus in the amount of £6,433,015. The arbitration merits hearing was held July 27-30, 2010. Post-hearing submissions were completed in October 2010; we are awaiting the decision of the tribunal.

Similar to other companies in our industry, we receive requests for information from government agencies in connection with their regulatory or investigational authority in the ordinary course of business. Such requests can include subpoenas or demand letters for documents to assist the government in audits or investigations. We review such requests and notices and take appropriate action.

Government Contracts

All companies engaged in supplying defense-related equipment and services to U.S. Government agencies, either directly or by subcontract, are subject to business risks specific to the defense industry. U.S. Government contracts generally contain provisions permitting termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice at the U.S. Government’s convenience, as well as termination for default based on lack of performance. Upon termination for convenience, we generally would be entitled to compensation only for work done, supplier costs and termination liability at the time of termination and to receive an allowance for profit on the work performed. A termination arising out of our default could expose us to liability and have a negative impact on our ability to obtain future U.S. Government contracts and orders. Furthermore, on U.S. Government contracts for which we are a subcontractor and not the prime contractor, the U.S. Government could terminate the prime contract for convenience or otherwise, which would likely result in the termination of our subcontract.

Governmental Regulations

Our operations, products and services are subject to oversight by the FAA and its counterpart regulators in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. These regulators routinely evaluate aircraft operational and safety requirements and are responsible for certification of new and modified aircraft. These regulators further oversee other aspects of our

operations, including the provision of aircraft maintenance services. Failure to comply with the applicable laws, rules and regulations governing aviation in the U.S. or other jurisdictions may subject us to civil penalties, including fines or the suspension or revocation of certain necessary licenses or certifications. Future action by these regulators, including increased scrutiny or a change from past practices, may adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity and impair our ability to certify and deliver new products.

Defense contractors are subject to many levels of audit, investigation and claims. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”), the U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”), the Inspector General, the Government Accountability Office, the U.S. Department of Justice and Congressional committees. These agencies review a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of, and a contractor’s compliance with, its internal control systems and policies. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed or must be refunded if already reimbursed. If an audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, including treble damages, and administrative sanctions, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or prohibition from doing business with the U.S. Government.

As a U.S. Government contractor, we are subject to specific import and export, procurement and other regulations and requirements. Failure to obtain timely export or import licenses could delay production and adversely affect our sales. Failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could result in reductions of the value of contracts, contract modifications or terminations and the assessment of penalties and fines, and lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. Among the causes for debarment are violations of various statutes related to procurement integrity, export control, government security regulations, employment practices, protection of the environment, and accuracy of records and recording of costs. Under many U.S. Government contracts, we are required to maintain facility and personnel security clearances complying with DOD requirements.

Our operations are also subject to a variety of worker and community safety laws. The Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) mandates general requirements for safe workplaces for all employees. In addition, OSHA provides special procedures and measures for the handling of certain hazardous and toxic substances.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and trade secrets to establish and protect our intellectual property rights relating to the development and manufacturing of our products. Some of these intellectual property assets are owned jointly with others or are provided to us through licenses. In the ordinary course of business, we have disputes with third parties regarding intellectual property rights which, in some cases, result in litigation.

Environmental, Health and Safety Matters

Our operations are subject to the requirements of federal, state, local, European and other foreign environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations, the violation of which could result in substantial costs and liabilities, including material civil and criminal fines and penalties. Such requirements include those pertaining to pollution; the protection of human health and the environment; air emissions; wastewater discharges; occupational health and safety; and the generation, handling, treatment, remediation, use, storage, transport, release of and exposure to, hazardous substances and wastes. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, costs and capital expenditures to comply with these environmental requirements and to obtain and maintain all necessary permits. Any failure by us to comply with such laws and regulations could subject us to significant civil or criminal fines and penalties and other liabilities. In addition, if we were convicted of a violation of these laws or regulations (including the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act), we, or one of our subsidiaries, could be placed by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) on the “Excluded Parties List” maintained by the U.S. General Services Administration. The listing would continue until the EPA concluded that the cause of the violation had been cured. Facilities at which the violation occurred cannot be used in performing any U.S. Government contract awarded during any period of listing by the EPA, and pre-existing contracts may be terminated by the government once a facility is listed. In addition, this prohibition can also extend to other facilities that are owned or operated by the convicted entity.

Under certain statutes, such as the federal Superfund statute, the obligation to investigate and remediate contamination at a facility may be imposed on current and former owners or operators or on persons who may have sent waste to that facility for disposal. Liability under these statutes may be without regard to fault or to the legality of the activities giving rise to the contamination. Contamination has been identified at some of our facilities, and we have incurred, and will continue to incur, costs to investigate and remediate these conditions. In connection with such contamination, we may also be liable for natural resource damages, government penalties and claims by third parties for personal injury and property damage. In addition, we may incur liabilities in connection with any future environmental contamination or any previously unknown but currently existing environmental conditions at our facilities. While the amount of these costs and liabilities could be significant, we do not believe that, based on currently available information, the costs of investigation and remediation and other costs with respect to identified environmental conditions, including conditions at offsite disposal locations with respect to which we have been notified of potential liability, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Under our stock purchase agreement with Raytheon, subject to certain conditions, Raytheon is obligated to indemnify us for a number of categories of environmental liabilities, including liabilities relating to contamination at facilities that RA formerly owned or operated and waste disposal sites used by RA. We cannot be certain, however, that Raytheon will satisfy its indemnification obligations in whole or in part. If Raytheon fails to comply with its indemnity obligations, we could become subject to significant liabilities.

In addition, environmental laws and regulations, and interpretation or enforcement thereof, are constantly evolving, and it is impossible to predict accurately the effect that changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, may have upon our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Should environmental laws and regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, become more stringent, the costs of compliance could increase. If we cannot pass along future costs to our customers, any such increases may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Under the amended and restated Shareholders Agreement among GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and several of its affiliates (which we refer to collectively as the “GS entities”), Onex Partners II LP and several of its affiliates (which we refer to collectively as the “Onex entities”) and management shareholders of HBI, including the named executive officers, the parties to the Shareholders Agreement have agreed to take such actions as are necessary so that the Board of Directors of HBI will consist of eight directors, including the following:

•

two directors designated by the Onex entities; these directors are Messrs. Hirsch and Mersky, who we refer to as the “Onex directors”;

•

three directors designated by one of the GS entities; these directors are Messrs. Daly, Mehra and Mullin, who we refer to as the “GS directors”;

•

one director designated by one of the GS entities who is a member of management and is eligible to be issued a Department of Defense facility security clearance at the level of HBI’s security clearance (referred to below as the “requisite DoD security clearance”); this director is Mr. Boisture; and

•

two directors designated by the GS entities and the Onex entities who (i) have had no prior involvement with Onex or its affiliates, (ii) are not employees of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries, and (iii) are U.S. resident citizens eligible to be issued the requisite DoD security clearance; these directors are General Barents and General Cook, who we refer to as the “outside directors.”

A director, other than an outside director, holds office until the next annual meeting of HBI shareholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation or removal. An outside director holds office until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation or removal. The removal of an outside director generally will not become effective unless the Defense Security Service of the Department of Defense has approved both the removal and the successor to the removed director.

In addition, the Shareholders Agreement also requires that the Chairman of the Board of HBI be a U.S. citizen who is eligible to be issued the requisite DoD security clearance and cannot be an Onex director. The Shareholders

Agreement also contains provisions limiting the Onex directors’ access to classified information and export control information, except as permitted by applicable law and regulations. As a private company whose securities are not listed on any national securities exchange, we are not required to have a majority of, or any, independent directors. However, the rules of the SEC require us to disclose which of our directors would be considered independent within the meaning of the rules of a national securities exchange that we may choose. We currently have two directors, General Barents and General Cook, who would be considered independent within the definitions of either the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. One of our directors, Mr. Boisture, is our Chief Executive Officer. Another of our directors, Mr. Mullin, has a consulting arrangement with Goldman Sachs. The remaining directors are employed by HBI’s principal shareholders.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

In this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we address the compensation paid or awarded to our executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table that follows this discussion. We sometimes refer to these executive officers as our “named executive officers” or “NEOs.” In addition, unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “we” refers collectively to Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. (“HBI”), Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC (“HBAC”) and Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (“HBC”).

The following provides a brief overview of the more detailed disclosure set forth in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis:

•

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”) is responsible for administering our compensation program and makes compensation decisions, except in the case of Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) compensation, upon recommendation from the CEO and the Vice President of Human Resources. Decisions regarding CEO compensation are made by the Compensation Committee without reliance on any recommendation from management.

•

The objectives of our executive compensation program are to: (i) attract and retain talented and highly-skilled executives; (ii) align executive pay with performance; (iii) align executive and shareholder interests; and (iv) provide an incentive for long-term continued employment with the Company.

•

Our executive compensation consists of: (i) base annual salary; (ii) incentive-based “pay at risk” compensation; and (iii) long-term equity-linked awards. We provide only limited perquisites to certain executive officers.

•

We established a pay-for-performance environment by linking short-term incentive-based compensation to the achievement of financial and non-financial goals. The level of achievement of these goals for 2010 resulted in an incentive award payout of 133%-165% of target for the named executive officers.

•

In February 2010, Restricted Stock Units were awarded to named executive officers other than Messrs. Boisture and Vick in lieu of cash payment of a portion of their 2009 MIP awards. Mr. Boisture received a

Restricted Stock Unit award in lieu of cash payment of a portion of his discretionary incentive award for 2009 performance. Mr. Vick received a Restricted Stock Unit award in lieu of cash payment of a guaranteed bonus for 2009 that was negotiated in recruiting him to the Company.

•

As a result of a continuing decline in the market for aircraft, the Company reduced base annual salaries of the named executive officers other than Mr. Boisture by 10% in November 2010; Mr. Boisture’s base annual salary had been reduced by 10% in 2009 and no further reduction was taken against his base annual salary in November 2010.

•

Our executive officers are encouraged to make substantial investments in the Company through purchases of common shares of our parent company, HBI, at the fair value of those common shares for the quarter in which any such investments are made. These investments are generally made when executive officers commence employment with the Company, and at the same time, discretionary stock option grants are generally awarded. We view these investments and equity positions as a significant alignment of management and shareholder interests.

•

The Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of our CEO and the other named executive officers.

•

We believe that our compensation program successfully achieves its objectives.

2010 Compensation

Management Overview

During 2010, management strengthened the leadership team with two additional senior leaders who commenced employment in the second half of 2010.

On January 25, 2011, Sidney E. Anderson, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, announced his resignation.

On February 28, 2011, we announced that Mr. Thomas Patrick Kelly, age 53, would serve as our interim principal financial officer, effective immediately. Mr. Kelly is the owner of Interim Executive Services, LLC (“IES”). We entered into a consulting agreement with IES for the services to be performed by Mr. Kelly. We will pay a monthly fee of $45,000 for such services, and will cover reasonable travel and travel-related expenses. From January 2010 to April 2010, Mr. Kelly served as the interim Chief Executive Officer for Express Jet Airlines, a $750 million regional airline that operated 244 jets. Prior to that, he served as Chief Financial Officer of Vignette Corporation from July 2006 to July 2009. In addition, during the past five years, Mr. Kelly was the Director of Global Facility Planning of Dell from January 2005 to June 2006, the Chief Financial Officer of Trilogy Software from 1998 to 2004, the Chief Financial Officer of Sabre Holdings from 1995 to 1998, and was the Vice President, Financial Planning and Analysis of American Airlines from 1993 to 1995. None of Mr. Kelly’s experience prior to February 28, 2011 was with a parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of us.

Role and Responsibilities

The Committee is responsible for all decisions regarding our executive compensation philosophy and strategy. The Committee intends that all compensation and benefits provided to our executives be reasonable, fair and competitive. The Committee is charged with the authority and responsibility to approve all executive compensation, equity programs and benefits matters.

The Committee makes all final decisions in setting the compensation for our named executive officers and other members of our senior leadership team, the individuals who report directly to the CEO. The Committee is also responsible for approving equity award grants for all employees. These decisions, other than decisions involving the compensation of our CEO, are based on recommendations made by the CEO and our Vice President of Human Resources. The CEO’s compensation is determined solely by the Committee. The Committee uses its discretion and judgment in accepting or modifying the recommendations of the CEO and the Vice President of Human Resources in making its final decisions regarding compensation.

In setting executive compensation levels, the Committee does not engage in formal benchmarking against a specific list of peer group companies. Importantly, given the high proportion of

the members of the senior leadership team that have been recruited externally in recent years, for new executives joining the Company, historical compensation data for each executive is taken into consideration, including base salary, annual and long-term incentive compensation, as well as equity ownership. Finally, in making individual executive compensation decisions, the Committee evaluates each executive’s scope of responsibility, expected contributions to financial and non-financial performance, and breadth of experience in determining appropriate compensation levels. The Company regularly reviews the performance of its executives and makes adjustments to compensation based on merit and company performance. We also use general salary comparison data, such as that available through Organization Resource Counselors (ORC Worldwide), to evaluate the reasonableness of our compensation program.

Compensation Objectives

The compensation paid or awarded to our named executive officers for 2010 was designed to meet the following objectives:

•

Provide compensation that enables us to attract and retain highly-skilled executives. We refer to this objective as “competitive compensation.”

•

Create a compensation structure that, in large part, is based on the achievement of formally established performance goals. We refer to this compensation as “performance incentives” or “pay at risk”.

•

Provide long-term incentives to align executive and shareholder interests. We refer to this objective as “stakeholder incentives.”

•

Provide an incentive for long-term continued employment with us. We refer to this objective as “retention incentives.”

Perquisites	All named executive officers (unless otherwise noted)	Personal benefits provided to executives, such as personal use of corporate aircraft (Messrs. Boisture and Vick), payment of executive life insurance, excess liability premiums, and executive physicals.	• Competitive Compensation

Our Target Pay Mix

The total compensation package for our executive officers consists of base salary, incentive-based “pay at risk” compensation, long-term equity awards, and benefits. In determining the target level of compensation and compensation opportunities, we consider market practice, business objectives, expectations of our shareholders, and our own subjective assessment of individual executives’ performance, growth and future potential.

We have chosen a target mix of base salary and annual and long-term incentive opportunities that generally reflects our targeted performance, with actual pay mix varying based on the performance of our company and of the individual. Peer company practices will continue to be monitored as one reference point as we make decisions regarding target pay. However, we will also continue to make strategic decisions based on our unique business objectives, which may differ from common peer company practices.

Factors Considered in Making Compensation Decisions

Actual compensation levels are a function of company and individual performance as described under each specific compensation element below. When making pay decisions, the Committee considers the competitiveness of individual elements of compensation as well as the aggregate sum of base salary, annual pay at risk and the expected value of long-term incentives (determined at grant) for an executive officer. The Committee may also consider salary increase history, past pay at risk awards and past equity awards as context in understanding year-to-year changes in compensation and retention effect of prior awards. Under the Management Incentive Plan, initial award amounts are determined based on a comparison of actual performance to pre-established criteria. The Committee retains the discretion to adjust the size of individual awards in situations where an executive officer’s individual performance either exceeds or falls below expectations. Final decisions on any major element of compensation, as well as total compensation for executive officers, are made by the Committee.

The compensation program is generally applied consistently to NEOs. Exceptions related to CEO compensation are noted throughout this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

In setting the CEO’s compensation level, the Committee does not engage in formal benchmarking against a specific list of peer group companies. The Committee has considered the historical compensation for the CEO, including base salary, annual and long-term incentive compensation, as well as equity ownership. In addition, the Committee considered expected contributions to financial and non-financial performance, and breadth of experience in determining appropriate compensation levels. On a going forward basis, the Committee has in the past established performance objectives for the CEO based on our annual business plan and long-term strategic goals approved by the Board of Directors. The Committee has evaluated the CEO’s performance against these goals and strategic achievements during the year. Based on these factors, the Committee has made recommendations concerning base salary increases, targets under the MIP and annual incentive award

payments. The Committee holds regularly-scheduled executive sessions to discuss CEO performance and compensation, as well as other matters, without any executive officers present. The Committee seeks Board of Directors’ input and approval for certain decisions relating to CEO compensation.

Other Named Executive Officer Compensation

The Committee approves base salary increases, MIP targets and payouts, and awards under the long-term equity-linked rewards and similar arrangements for the other named executive officers after receiving recommendations from our CEO (with input from the Vice President—Human Resources). The Committee makes the final decision and approves compensation decisions for all of our named executive officers.

Base Salaries

We provide each of our executive officers with a base salary commensurate with his or her level of expertise and contributions to the Company in relation to comparable positions in the marketplace. The base salaries for named executive officers reflect input from the CEO, the Vice President of Human Resources and the Committee, based on prior employment history and job responsibilities. Individual salary amounts are not objectively determined, but instead reflect the final judgment of the Committee after taking into account management’s recommendation with respect to each executive’s expected contributions to the Company, experience and other factors, including any retention concerns and internal equity considerations. The base annual salary of each executive officer is reviewed annually and may be adjusted from time to time to recognize individual performance, promotion, competitive compensation issues, retention requirements, as well as internal equity and other subjective factors. As a result of the economic downturn and the impact on the general aviation market, effective November 29, 2010, all the named executive officers other than the CEO took 10% reductions in base annual salary.

We established the 2010 Management Incentive Plan (“2010 MIP”) to align executive pay with overall company performance and the 2010 MIP was the “at risk” component of the total compensation package for our named executive officers. The plan provided a target award amount for each of our named executive officers based on a percentage of his base salary.

The 2010 MIP provided for award payments based on quarterly and annual achievement of certain financial measures and non-financial performance measures. For each participant, the maximum potential payout under the 2010 MIP was equivalent to 200% of his MIP target award. Total year corporate financial measures, EBITDA and Cash Flow, had to meet a 90% threshold level or greater to achieve any 2010 MIP award.

The corporate performance measures (“Performance Measures”) utilized in 2010 along with the weighting, description, and achievement percentage of each Performance Measurer were as follows (the applicable measurement period for all measures was January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010):


Performance Measure	Target Weighting			Description	Achievement
EBITDA		15	%	Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for significant non-recurring items including: (i) non-cash asset impairment charges (ii) severance and other related charges associated with reducing the size of the organization and charges related to rescheduling previously planned material receipts, (iii) charges related to gains and losses on foreign exchange derivatives, and (iv) non-cash compensation expense. We selected this measure because it indicates our ability to control expenditures and realize a meaningful return from the sale of our products.		133	%

Cash Flow		50	%	Cash Flow is defined as the change in cash from period to period. The applicable period of time for this measure was January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. We selected this measure because we believe it provides a useful indicator of our ability to manage invested capital and generate cash.		159	%


Performance Measure		Target Weighting			Description	Achievement
	Area Goals		35	%	Achieve targeted metrics identified specifically for individual departments or functional areas (e.g., Segment EBITDA, Segment Cash Flow, Inventory Turns, and Gross Bookings)		95% - 187	%

			100	%			133% - 165	%

For each participant, the maximum payout under the 2010 MIP was equivalent to 200% of such participant’s target award. No award could be paid for the Area Goals Performance Meaure if the threshold targets for the annual EBITDA and Cash Flow measures were not achieved. For the EBITDA and Cash Flow Performance Measures, performance was measured both quarterly and annually with each quarter’s performance constituting 10% of such measurement’s total weighting and the annual performance constituting 60% of such measurement’s total weighting. For each quarter measured, in order for there to be a value assigned to a specific goal, participants had to meet 80% of target achievement for the goal being measured and, for the annual measurement, participants had to meet 90% of target achievement for the goal that was measured. If these threshold levels were reached, the participant received 50% of the target award for that goal (achievement between such threshold performance levels and the target level did not result in any increase in the award amount). If achievement was 100% or above for a performance measurement, the award amount was equivalent to the percentage achieved with 200% being the maximum percentage achieved.

Targets were set for each Performance Measure near the beginning of the performance cycle. The performance targets and actual performance for these goals are not disclosed because they represent confidential financial information that is not otherwise disclosed to the public. Disclosing this information would cause significant competitive harm to the Company. The metrics would provide competitors with insight into the strategic direction that management is expected to take with respect to the Company and would provide competitors with information concerning our view of market dynamics, as well as margin and pricing data. The targets were set at appropriate levels near the beginning of the performance cycle and were considered sufficient to motivate the achievement of financial performance. In addition, the performance targets were set so that they represented a significant challenge for management and achievement required significant sales levels, meaningful operating efficiencies, and cash generation sufficient to provide funds needed for debt service, while also demonstrating improvement in key metrics and value capture initiatives.

Based on the applicable performance ratings described above, payments to the named executive officers, as well as their target awards under the 2010 MIP, were as follows:


Executive Officer	Base Annual Salary(1)		MIP Target Award Level (% of Base Salary)			Actual MIP Award ($)		MIP Payout Based on Performance Achieved (% of Target Award)			Actual MIP Payout Based on Performance Achieved (% of Base Salary)
W.W. Boisture, Jr.	$	630,000		100	%	$	900,900		143	%		143	%
Sidney E. Anderson	$	329,992		75	%	$	353,916		143	%		107	%
Shawn W. Vick	$	330,000		75	%	$	331,650		134	%		101	%
William E. Brown	$	290,000		75	%	$	289,275		133	%		100	%
James I. Maslowski	$	290,000		60	%	$	287,100		165	%		99	%

(1)	Base annual salary prior to 10% pay cut.

Long-Term Incentives

Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. Employee Equity Investment Plan

We created the Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. (“HBI”) Employee Equity Investment Plan, which we refer to as the “Equity Incentive Plan,” so that our executives would have a tangible incentive to increase shareholder value. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, our executive officers are encouraged to invest in HBI common shares.

Until 2010, named executive officers were required to invest cash in order to purchase HBI common shares at the commencement of employment with the Company. To encourage participation in the Equity Incentive Plan by all executive officers and to provide an additional long-term equity-linked incentive, the Equity Incentive Plan provided that a participant was entitled to receive a stock option for a number of HBI common shares equal to 3.5 times the sum of the number of HBI shares that the participant acquired under the Equity Incentive Plan. Messrs. Vick, Anderson, Brown and Maslowski received such stock options. Mr. Boisture’s arrangements regarding his purchase of HBI common shares and grant of options to purchase HBI common shares are governed by the terms of his Employment Agreement, which is described under the caption “Employment Agreements,” which follows the Summary Compensation Table below. The number of common shares underlying options granted to Mr. Boisture under the Equity Incentive Plan are shown in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table. See the description of the Equity Incentive Plan following the Summary Compensation Table below.

The dollar amounts shown in the Summary Compensation Table with respect to stock awards reflect the grant date fair values computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. See the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table for further information.

Other Stock Option Grants

Over the course of the Equity Incentive Plan, we have made grants of discretionary options that were not conditioned on purchases of HBI equity as part of the long-term equity-linked rewards program to executive officers including Mr. Boisture and other named executive officers, as well as to other key employees. We determined the number of options to be granted to each named executive officer without an arithmetic formula; the determination of the number of options to be granted was based on an evaluation relating to level of responsibility, breadth of experience, market factors, and internal equity concerns. During 2010, all of our named executive officers received option grants, as did 31 other employees.

Option grants made in 2010 under the 2007 Stock Option Plan have been divided among three types of options, or were made as time vested options only:

•

Time-Vesting options vest in five equal annual increments, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

•

Performance-Vesting Type A and Performance-Vesting Type B options vest in five equal annual increments. However, for any such options to become exercisable for then-current employees, there must be a Liquidity Event, as defined in the option agreements, and certain rates of return must be achieved by the Onex and GS entities as a result of the Liquidity Event. The Performance-Vesting Type A and Performance-Vesting Type B options specify different rates of return for achievement by the Onex and GS entities upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event. In March 2010, as a result of the decline in the aircraft market conditions and the Company’s declining confidence that it might achieve the previously-established EBITDA targets for years after 2007, these options were amended such that they could still vest and become exercisable if the EBITDA targets are met, but if the EBITDA targets are not met, they will vest in equal annual increments and become exercisable only if certain events occur that involve the disposition of securities by the Onex and GS entities and result in the owner group achieving certain levels of cash-on-cash returns. For the Performance-Vesting Type A grants, exercisability would require a 150% cash-on-cash return. For the Performance-Vesting Type B grants, exercisability would require a 200% cash-on-cash return.

All outstanding options were amended, effective October 28, 2010, to reduce the term of the restrictions of the post-employment provisions relating to non-competition.

The number of shares underlying these stock options are set forth below in the Grants of Plan Based Awards table under the column headings, “Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards” (for performance-vesting options) and “All Other Option Awards: Number of Securities Underlying Options” (for other options). For additional information regarding stock option terms, see “Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. 2007 Stock Option Plan,” which follows the Summary Compensation Table below.

The dollar amounts shown in the Summary Compensation Table with respect to option awards reflect grant date fair values computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. See the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table for further information.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

Restricted Stock Unit (“RSUs”) grants of rights to receive common stock were given to Messrs. Boisture and Vick upon commencement of their employment, and vest in five equal annual installments on the anniversaries of the date of grant, beginning one year following the date of grant. One-fifth of these RSUs vested during 2010 for Messrs. Boisture and Vick, and one-fifth of these RSUs vested in March 2011 for Mr. Boisture.

Messrs. Anderson, Brown and Maslowski received grants of RSUs in February 2010 in lieu of a cash payout of a portion of their 2009 MIP awards. The Compensation Committee awarded these RSUs in consideration of the Company’s cash conservation activities and to provide named executive officers with an incentive to remain with the Company in order to receive these RSU payouts that vest over two vesting periods Mr. Boisture was granted an RSU award in 2010 in lieu of a cash payout of a portion of his discretionary award for 2009 performance, and Mr. Vick was granted an RSU award in 2010 in lieu of a cash payout of his guaranteed bonus for 2009 that was negotiated in recruiting him to the Company. One half of these RSUs vested in 2010 and the balance will vest in December 2011, except for Mr. Vick’s, whose RSUs vested fully in 2010. The number of RSUs received is set forth under the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table below. The dollar amounts shown in the Summary Compensation Table with respect to RSUs reflect grant date fair values computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.

Personal Benefits

We provide our named executive officers with limited personal benefits that we believe are appropriate as part of a competitive compensation package that enables us to attract and retain highly skilled executives. We periodically review the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to our named executive officers. The personal benefits currently provided to our named executive officers include relocation expenses for incoming named executive officers, personal use of our corporate aircraft by Mr. Boisture and for Mr. Vick, including some personal use of our aircraft provided as part of their relocation benefits, payment of executive life insurance premiums, excess liability premiums and payment of executive physicals for all of our named executive officers. Perquisites and personal benefits, including personal use of aircraft, are included in the NEOs’ incomes, based on prescribed IRS laws and regulations.

Additional information regarding these benefits is provided in the Summary Compensation Table and the accompanying footnotes.

Ongoing and Post-Employment Compensation

We have plans and agreements for our named executive officers that accrue value as the executive officer continues to work for us, and provide special benefits upon certain types of termination events or provide retirement benefits. These plans and agreements were designed to be part of a competitive compensation package.

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Savings and Investment Plan

This plan is a tax-qualified defined contribution plan available to all of our domestic employees. All of our named executive officers participate in the plan. Under the plan, an employee may contribute, subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations (which, among other things, limited pre-tax annual contributions in 2010 to $16,500, subject to the ability of persons age 50 or over to contribute an additional $5,500), up to a maximum of 50% of his or her salary on a post-tax basis. There was no matching contribution to this plan in 2010 until October 4, 2010 when the Company began matching up to 50% of the first 4% of eligible compensation of participants. Amounts credited to an employee’s account in the plan may be invested among a number of investment alternatives. A participant’s account is adjusted to reflect the rate of return, positive or negative, on the investments.

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Retirement Income Savings Feature Within the Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Savings and Investment Plan

This is a tax-qualified defined contribution benefit that was added to the Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Savings and Investment Plan, and provides benefits following retirement based upon a formula relating to age and years of service. Contributions are made solely by the Company, and are limited to that certain amount that does not exceed the IRS rules based on salary. If the Company’s contributions meet the IRS threshold, any additional calculated contributions are made to the Company’s Nonqualified Excess Savings and Deferred Compensation Plan for the benefit of the employee. All of the named executive officers participate in this feature of the Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Savings and Investment Plan.

Hawker Beechcraft Excess Savings and Deferred Compensation Plan

This plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that provides tax benefits for eligible employees. Under the plan, an eligible employee can defer up to 50% of his or her salary and up to 90% of his or her annual MIP award, and HBI directors who receive compensation for serving as directors can defer up to $12,500 of their quarterly cash compensation. Effective October 4, 2010, the Company began providing a matching contribution equal to a maximum of 50% of the first 4% of eligible compensation, consistent with the matching contribution under the Savings and Investment Plan. Mr. Maslowski participated in this feature of the plan.

The plan also allows additional discretionary employer contributions in amounts that would have been contributed as a retirement income savings contribution under the Savings and Investment Plan if there had not been a contribution limitation under that plan. This contribution is determined by reference to an individual’s age and years of service. Amounts deferred under the plan generally are not subject to federal, and in many cases state, income taxes until they are distributed. An eligible employee can choose to have his or her contributions allocated to one or more of several notional investments, and his or her account is adjusted to reflect the deemed rate of return, positive or negative, on the notional investments. An eligible employee may choose to receive a payout following retirement, either in a lump sum or in annual installments. The plan also includes provisions for payment upon death or disability. See the Deferred Compensation table and accompanying narrative for additional information. Messrs. Boisture, Maslowski and Vick participated in this feature of the plan.

Separation Arrangements

On February 7, 2011, HBC and Hawker Beechcraft, Inc., the Company’s direct parent company, entered into a Separation of Employment Agreement and General Release with Sidney E. Anderson, who resigned as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on January 25, 2011. Mr. Anderson’s separation arrangements include salary and benefits continuance for nine months, payout under the Management Incentive Plan for 2010, and a potential Lump Sum Payment of three months base pay at the end of October 2011 if it is determined that he has cooperated and assisted satisfactorily with any specific matters that may have been requested by the Company during the nine month period during which he continued to receive salary and benefits.

Tax Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits to $1 million the deductibility for federal income tax purposes of annual compensation paid by a publicly held company to its chief executive officer and other specified executive officers, unless certain conditions are met. While Section 162(m) does not currently apply to us because we are not a publicly held company, to the extent feasible, we structure executive compensation to preserve deductibility for federal income tax purposes. In this regard, our stock option plans are designed to preserve, to the extent available, the deductibility of income realized upon the exercise of stock options. Nevertheless, we retain the flexibility to authorize compensation that may not be deductible if we believe it is in the best interests of our company.

Shawn W. Vick (9)	$	21,594	$	53,238	$	1,158	$	75,990

(7)	Mr. Anderson resigned his position as Chief Financial Officer after the end of the year.

(8)	For Mr. Boisture, perquisites include: (a) personal use of aircraft; (b) $360,000 related to the sale of Mr. Boisture’s home in Savannah, Georgia; and (c) other relocation costs including $29,236 for private aircraft transportation.

(9)	For Mr. Vick, perquisites include: (a) $21,594 for personal use of aircraft, and (b) relocation costs, including $10,720 for private aircraft transportation

The Company offers limited benefits to its named executive officers, including relocation expenses, executive life insurance, executive physicals, and excess liability insurance. The company also offered personal use of aircraft for Messrs. Boisture and Vick. In addition, private aircraft transportation was made available as part of relocation benefits for Messrs. Boisture and Vick.

We calculated the amount shown for personal use of company aircraft generally based on the average variable fuel and maintenance charges to us per flight hour with regard to each aircraft model used. The hourly variable costs for fuel and maintenance differ depending on the aircraft model used. Therefore, in calculating the cost of personal aircraft use, we multiply the average variable cost per flight hour by the number of hours flown for personal use on each particular model of aircraft. The amount shown for personal use of company aircraft generally is equal to the sum of the amounts attributable to each model of aircraft used by the executive. Largely because we keep our aircraft at our own facilities, we do not typically incur more than relatively minor charges relating to other operating items such as hangar/parking fees, landing/ramp fees and other miscellaneous variable operating costs; such charges are included as incremental costs in calculating costs for personal use of company aircraft. Our methodology also excludes fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilots’ and other employees’ salaries. All other perquisites are valued at the actual cost to the Company to provide such perquisites.

These Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) were granted in lieu of a cash payout of a portion of the named executive officers’ discretionary payments related to their 2009 Management Incentive Plan awards, except for Messrs. Boisture and Vick, whose RSUs were granted in lieu of a discretionary award for 2009 performance and a guaranteed bonus amount for 2009 performance, respectively. The RSUs vest in two equal increments on 12/31/2010 and 12/31/2011, except for Mr. Vick’s, whose RSUs vested immediately upon grant.

(3)	These options were granted under the Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. 2007 Stock Option Plan and are exercisable in equal 20% increments on the first five anniversaries of the date of grant.

(4) The grant date fair value is computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, based on assumptions described in Note 16 to our Consolidated Financial Statements

Employment Agreements

On March 23, 2009, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Worth W. Boisture, Jr., our current Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Boisture’s employment agreement provides for a base salary at an annualized rate of $630,000, with an annual performance bonus target of 100% of his salary with a maximum of 200% of his salary. Mr. Boisture voluntarily reduced his salary by 10% during 2009. Mr. Boisture was also provided an equity grant of 125,000 restricted stock units, and was granted options for 1,243,750 shares of HBI stock. In addition to the executive relocation benefits provided to Mr. Boisture, the Company agreed to purchase his residence in Savannah, Georgia for 95% of the average of two independent valuations of the residence if he was unable to sell within six months. Mr. Boisture’s agreement also provided for reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with negotiating his employment agreement, five weeks of vacation, and one year post-employment non-compete and non-solicitation covenants, with perpetual confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants. If Mr. Boisture is terminated without cause or for good reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), he will be entitled to receive one year of salary continuance and target bonus, payable over 12 months, and a prorated bonus for the year of termination, based on actual performance for the year.

Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. 2007 Stock Option Plan

In connection with the Acquisition, HBI adopted the 2007 Stock Option Plan, under which options to purchase up to 9,782,434.5 shares of HBI common stock may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of HBI and its subsidiaries. The plan has a term of ten years and is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of HBI. All options have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of HBI common stock on the date of grant. In the absence of a public market for HBI common stock, the Board of Directors has established the fair market value of the shares.

As described in “Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. Employee Equity Investment Plan” included elsewhere in this prospectus, certain of the options granted to the named executive officers other than Messrs. Boisture and Vick were granted because they purchased an amount of HBI common stock, and certain of the options granted were discretionary options. The number of options granted to Mr. Boisture was established in his employment agreement, and Mr. Vick received only discretionary options.

Three types of options have been granted under the plan. For options granted prior to March 23, 2009, there are Time-Vesting options that vest in five equal annual increments, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of

grant. Performance-Vesting Type A and Performance-Vesting Type B options were initially granted so that they could vest in five equal annual increments, but an increment would vest only if the EBITDA target established by the Compensation Committee for the relative year had been met. The 2007 vesting increment vested as a result of the Company having achieved the 2007 EBITDA target. On March 26, 2010, as a result of the decline in the aircraft market conditions and the Company’s declining confidence that it might achieve the previously-established EBITDA targets for years after 2007, these options were amended such that they could still vest and become exercisable if the EBITDA targets are met, but if the EBITDA targets are not met, they will vest in equal annual increments and become exercisable only if certain events occur that involve the disposition of securities by the Onex and GS entities and result in the owner group achieving certain levels of cash-on-cash returns. For the Performance-Vesting Type A grants, exercisability will require a 150% cash-on-cash return, and for the Performance-Vesting Type B grants, exercisability will require a 200% cash-on-cash return. Upon the occurrence of certain events involving the disposition of securities by the Onex and GS entities, all shares underlying outstanding performance-vesting options, including those that did not vest because an EBITDA target was not met, will vest if the Onex and GS entities achieve a specified internal rate of return.

For options granted on or after March 23, 2009, there are Time-Vesting options that vest in five equal annual increments, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Performance-Vesting Type A and Performance-Vesting Type B options were also granted, and were initially granted so that they could vest in five equal annual increments but would be exercisable only if there is a liquidity event, and, for 50% of such options, the achievement of an 8% IRR and a 200% cash-on-cash return, and for the remaining 50% of such options, the achievement of an 8% IRR and a 300% cash-on-cash return. On March 26, 2010, as a result of the decline in the aircraft market conditions, these options were amended such that they will vest in equal annual increments, but will become exercisable only if certain events occur that involve the disposition of securities by the Onex and GS entities and result in the owner group achieving certain levels of cash-on-cash returns. For the Performance-Vesting Type A grants, exercisability will require a 150% cash-on-cash return, and for the Performance-Vesting Type B grants, exercisability will require a 200% cash-on-cash return.

For options granted on or after March 26, 2010, there are Time-Vesting options that vest in five equal annual increments, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Performance-Vesting Type A and Performance-Vesting Type B options were also granted, and vest in the same annual increments as the time vesting options, but will become exercisable only if certain events occur that involve the disposition of securities by the Onex and GS entities and result in the owner group achieving certain levels of cash-on-cash returns. For the Performance-Vesting Type A grants, exercisability will require a 150% cash-on-cash return, and for the Performance-Vesting Type B grants, exercisability will require a 200% cash-on-cash return.

Stock Vested From January 1, 2010 to April 8, 2011

The following table provides information regarding vesting of restricted stock units held by the named executive officers as of April 8, 2011:


Name	Number of Shares Vested		Value Realized Upon Vesting(1)
Worth W. Boisture, Jr.		97,500	$	462,500

The value realized upon vesting is based on the fair market value on the date of vesting. Under the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit awards granted to Messrs. Boisture and Vick upon commencement of their employment, receipt of the value upon annual vesting of the five equal increments is deferred until all increments have vested. For the 2010 vestings of these Restricted Stock Units, the amounts deferred were $125,000 and $2,500 for Messrs. Boisture and Vick, respectively. For Mr. Boisture’s March 2011 vesting, the amount deferred was $100,000.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

In this section, we describe payments that may be made to our named executive officers upon several events of termination, assuming the termination event occurred on December 31, 2010. The information in this section does not include information relating to the following:

•

Distributions under the Hawker Beechcraft Excess Savings and Deferred Compensation Plan—see “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” above for information regarding this plan;

•

Other payments and benefits provided on a nondiscriminatory basis to salaried employees generally upon termination of employment, including under our tax-qualified defined contribution and benefit plans; and

•

Short-term incentive payments that would not be increased due to the termination event.

Acceleration of Vesting Provisions Pertaining to Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units

Under the HBI 2007 Stock Option Plan, in the event of merger, consolidation, statutory exchange of shares of other disposition of 80% or more of the consolidated assets of HBI, an agreement may provide that all unexercisable or otherwise unvested options generally will immediately be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested and the Committee may either (i) cancel the option and make payment to the option holder equal to the excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares over the aggregate exercise price of the option or (ii) provide for the issuance of substitute options or other awards that will preserve, as nearly as practicable, the economic terms of the options. The option agreements generally provide that in the event of the death or disability of a participant, with respect to performance-vesting options, a pro rata share of the additional 20% of the shares underlying the option will vest based on the number of days elapsed in the year prior to the termination of employment, but in the case of performance-vesting options granted before March 23, 2009, only if the EBITDA target for that year is met, and in the case of performance-vesting options granted on or after March 23, 2009, the additional 20% of options will become exercisable only if there is a Liquidity Event. If a participant’s employment is terminated by HBI or a subsidiary without “cause,” as defined in the plan, with respect to time-vesting options, in the event of death or disability, an additional 20% of shares underlying the option that have not yet vested will vest, but, in the case of the performance-vesting options granted before March 23, 2009, only if the EBITDA target for the year in which the termination occurs is met, and in the case of performance-vesting options granted on or after March 23, 2009, the additional 20% of options will become exercisable only if there is a Liquidity Event. In connection with any other termination, all unvested options will be cancelled, and in the case of a participant whose employment has been terminated for cause, all vested but unexercised options, will be cancelled.

For the RSU awards granted on or after March 23, 2009 but on or before December 31, 2009, a participant’s award will become fully vested in the event of a Liquidity Event or Transaction as defined in the agreements. If a participant’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause,” or for “good reason,” death or disability of the participant, an additional 20% of the participant’s award will vest upon such termination. For awards granted in 2010, if a participant’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause,” or due to death or disability of the participant, all of theses awards become fully vested. In connection with any other termination, all unvested Restricted Stock Unit award amounts will be cancelled.

In the event of the disability of an executive officer, if he or she elected Long Term Disability coverage under the benefit plan elections, he or she will be entitled to receive payments under that benefit and will be permitted to continue benefits coverage during the disability period.

(4)

In the event of the death of an executive officer, the Company generally pays one month’s salary to the executive’s surviving spouse, or other beneficiary or estate if there is no surviving spouse, and the executive’s life insurance proceeds would be available upon making a claim. In addition, there are provisions for accelerated vesting of restricted stock and stock options in the event of the death of an executive officer. If the executive officer is a management shareholder, under the terms of the shareholders’ agreement, there are certain put rights for the executive officer’s estate upon termination due to the executive officer’s death.

(6)	Under the terms of the restricted stock agreements, provisions were made to accelerate vesting of some, or all, of such shares depending on the reason for the termination (or if there is a Transaction, as defined in the agreements).

(7)	Under the terms of the stock option agreements, provisions were made to accelerate vesting of some, or all, of such options depending on the reason for the terminations (or if there is a Transaction, as defined in the agreements).

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Shareholders Agreement

The shareholders agreement among the GS entities, the Onex entities and the management HBI shareholders described above under “Directors and Executive Officers of HBI” includes limitations on the transferability of the parties’ respective holdings of HBI equity securities. In addition, the agreement generally provides preemptive rights to the parties with respect to new issues of HBI equity securities; the right to participate in sales of HBI shares by the GS entities or the Onex entities; and the right of the holders of at least 65% of HBI common stock who wish to sell all of their HBI equity securities to compel the other holders to sell all of their HBI equity securities.

In addition, the shareholders agreement provides certain demand registration rights to the GS entities and the Onex entities and piggyback registration rights to the parties to the agreement. The agreement generally also provides to HBI the ability to purchase shares held by a management shareholder upon termination of the management shareholder’s employment and provides a management shareholder the right to sell his or her HBI shares to HBI upon termination of his or her employment. The agreement also requires the consent of the GS and Onex entities in connection with a variety of material corporate transactions, and the consent of the GS entities with respect to specified strategic planning, budgeting, contractual and business expansion matters.

Some of the provisions of shareholders agreement described above will terminate upon an initial public offering of equity securities of HBI or any of its subsidiaries.

Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons

GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and other private equity funds affiliated with Goldman, Sachs & Co. own approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding common stock of HBI. We have filed a “market-making” registration statement under the Securities Act in order to enable Goldman, Sachs & Co. to engage in market-making activities for the notes. Goldman Sachs & Co., acted as an Initial Purchaser in the 2007 offering of the outstanding notes. Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., an affiliate of GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and its related investment funds, acted as the joint lead arranger, joint book runner, syndication agent and a lender under our senior secured credit facilities. In addition, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. and its affiliates may in the future engage in commercial banking, investment banking or other financial advisory transactions with us and our affiliates.

Onex Partners II LP and its affiliated entities own approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding common stock of HBI.

Affiliates of Onex Partners II LP currently own a controlling interest in Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (“Spirit”), one of our suppliers. Spirit supplies certain components for our Hawker aircraft. We believe that purchases of components from Spirit are based on standard market terms. Onex has advised us that less than .16% of Spirit’s revenues are derived from sales to us.

We were advised that, following December 31, 2009, an entity affiliated with Goldman Sachs & Co. and Onex Partners II LP completed open-market purchases of $152.8 million of our outstanding notes as of February 25, 2010. The debt acquired by such entity has not been retired and we will continue to pay interest in accordance with the terms of the debt.

We entered into a management services arrangement with the investment managers of GS Capital Partners VI, L.P., and its related funds, and of Onex Partners II LP, respectively, effective upon the closing of the Acquisition. Under the arrangement, we pay these parties an annual aggregate fee of $2.0 million, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, as compensation for various advisory services. This fee is shared equally by the two sets of investment managers. We also agreed to indemnify these parties and their affiliates for liabilities arising from their actions under the management services arrangement.

Related Party Transaction Limitations

The shareholders agreement provides that, unless approved by one of the outside directors, we will not enter into any transaction with an HBI shareholder or any of the shareholder’s affiliates. This prohibition, which relates to the GS entities, the Onex entities, all HBI directors and the named executive officers, does not apply to the following transactions:

•

A transaction consummated in good faith on terms that are no less favorable to us than would have been obtained in a comparable transaction with an unrelated third party, and that has been approved by a majority of the members of the HBI Board of Directors who do not have any direct or indirect interest in the transaction and are not affiliated with any person that has a direct or indirect interest in the transaction;

•

Any employment agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business with the approval of the HBI Board of Directors;

•

The fees payable to the GS entities and the Onex entities under the management services arrangement described above under “Management Services Arrangement”;

•

Several agreements entered into in connection with the Acquisition that are described elsewhere in this prospectus;

•

Specified transactions with any nationally recognized commercial or investment bank or their affiliates, including those commercial banking, investment banking or other financial advisory transactions and contemplated transactions described above under “Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons”; and

•

Transactions with Spirit of the nature described above under “Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons” which a majority of the disinterested members of the HBI Board of Directors reasonably determines are on commercially reasonable terms.

In addition, HBI has a conflict of interest policy covering, among others, employees and HBI directors, including the named executive officers. If a person covered by the policy is involved in any current or contemplated financial or other interest, relationship, transaction, activity or situation which gives rise to an actual or potential conflict of interest, the person must report the conflict of interest to the Ethics Officer designated by HBI. In the case of employees, our Vice President and General Counsel has the authority regarding determinations, resolutions and corrective actions with respect to conflicts of interest. With regard to HBI directors, our Vice President and General Counsel will consult with members of management reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer as necessary to address any conflicts.

Under the policy, a “conflict of interest” generally may exist when a person covered by the policy has a direct or indirect personal interest in a transaction or situation that appears to affect his or her judgment and divides his or her loyalties between two or more competing interests. For the purposes of determining whether a conflict of interest exists, a family member’s activities and interests will be deemed to be the same as those of the person covered by the policy. Family members include spouses or domestic partners, parents, grandparents, or an individual who acts in any of those capacities, children or grandchildren (including through adoptive or foster relationships), siblings, dependent relatives or those similar relationships created by marriage (in-laws).

The amounts and percentages of common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of outstanding shares of common stock (including 147,462 shares of restricted stock units) on April 8, 2011, and in accordance with regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

Senior Credit Facilities

In connection with the Acquisition, we entered into our senior credit facilities with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as joint lead arrangers and in other capacities. Our senior credit facilities were amended on December 19, 2008 to allow us to prepay prior to June 30, 2010, up to a maximum of $300.0 million, the secured term loan at a discount price to par to be determined pursuant to certain auction procedures. On November 6, 2009, we further amended our credit agreement, and on November 25, 2009, we entered into an incremental facility supplement agreement pursuant to which we were provided a new $200.0 million of Series A term loan.

Borrowers; Amounts and Final Maturities. The senior credit facilities provide for senior secured financing of up to $1,815.0 million, consisting of:

•

a $240.0 million revolving credit facility, which matures in March 2013;

•

a $75.0 million synthetic letter of credit facility available to us in U.S. dollars, which matures in March 2014;

•

a $1,300.0 million term loan available to us in U.S. dollars, which matures in March 2014; and

•

a $200 million Series A term loan, available to us in U.S. dollars, which matures in March 2014.

Conditions Precedent. All borrowings under our senior credit facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of any material adverse effect and delivery of customary certificates and legal opinions.

Use of Proceeds. Proceeds from the original term loan and proceeds of the issuance of the outstanding notes and the equity contributions to HBI were used to finance the Acquisition, including payment of the purchase price to Raytheon and paying related fees, commissions and expenses. Proceeds of the revolving credit facility will be used from time to time to provide financing for general corporate purposes. Proceeds from the new Series A term loan were designated to be used for general corporate purposes. Letters of credit will be issued in dollars and other specified currencies and will be used for general corporate purposes.

Interest and Fees. The interest rates applicable to loans under our senior credit facilities are equal to either a base rate or an adjusted Eurodollar bank deposit rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage. We may elect interest periods of one, two, three, six and, if agreed to by each of the applicable lenders, nine or twelve months for Eurodollar borrowings.

The applicable margin for the multi-currency revolving credit facility will be determined from time to time based on our “consolidated secured debt ratio,” defined in our senior credit facilities generally as the ratio of our consolidated net secured indebtedness to our consolidated EBITDA for the period of the most recently ended consecutive four full fiscal quarters. In addition, the applicable margin for the term loan facility will be subject to a one-time reduction upon the achievement of certain ratings of our corporate and family credit.

We have agreed to pay various fees with respect to the senior credit facilities, including:

•

facility fees equal to 0.50% (subject to a reduction to 0.375% if a certain consolidated secured debt ratio level is achieved) per annum times the aggregate commitments under the revolving credit facility;

•

letter of credit fees in respect of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility in an amount equal to the applicable margin then in effect with respect to loans under the revolving credit facility times the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility; the issuer of any such letter of credit will also receive a fronting fee and other customary processing charges in amounts to be agreed;

•

letter of credit fees in respect of letters of credit issued under the synthetic letter of credit facility in an amount equal to the product of (x) the sum of (i) the applicable margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar rate loans under the term credit facility plus (ii) 10 basis points multiplied by (y) the amount on deposit in respect of the synthetic letter of credit facility; the issuer of any such letter of credit will also receive a fronting fee and other customary processing charges in amounts to be agreed;

•

an annual administrative agent fee of $150,000;

•

a one-time nonrefundable consent fee in an amount equal to 0.025% of each consenting lender’s loan, loan commitments and other participations outstanding under the credit agreement as of the effective date of the December 2008 amendment;

•

a one-time nonrefundable consent fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of each consenting lender’s commitment under the revolving credit facility in connection with the November 2009 renegotiation of our revolving credit facility as of the effective date of the renegotiation;

•

a fee to the lenders of our Series A term loan, in the form of original issue discount, equal to 6.0% of the agreement principal amount of our Series A term loan; and

•

agent, arrangement and other similar fees that were paid prior to the closing of the Acquisition and reimbursements of expenses paid to the Agent and other lenders from time to time, including in connection with the credit agreement amendments.

Amortization of Principal. The original term loan is repayable in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the term loans for the first six years and nine months, with the balance payable on the maturity date. The Series A term loan is repayable in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Series A term loans beginning on December 31, 2009, with the balance payable on the maturity date.

Prepayments. Our senior credit facilities require mandatory prepayments of the term loans and Series A term loans, subject to specified exceptions, as well as exclusions used in the calculation of net cash proceeds, in amounts equal to:

•

100% of the net cash proceeds (excluding proceeds reinvested in our business or that we intend to so reinvest within a specified time period) from specified asset sales or other dispositions of property of our and our subsidiaries, including insurance proceeds, other than certain dispositions in the ordinary course of business;

•

100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of specified debt obligations by us or our subsidiaries; and

•

50% of “excess cash flow” as defined in the senior credit facilities; provided that this percentage will be reduced upon achievement of performance targets based upon our consolidated secured debt ratio.

Mandatory prepayments will be applied to the remaining scheduled amortization installments of the term loan and Series A term loan facilities in an order to be determined at our option.

Voluntary prepayments of loans under our senior credit facilities are permitted, in whole or in part, at our option, without premium or penalty. Any voluntary prepayment of loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lender’s breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period. Voluntary prepayments of the term loan or Series A term loan will be applied to remaining scheduled amortization installments in an order to be determined at our option.

On December 19, 2008, we amended the credit agreement to allow us to prepay, up to a maximum of $300.0 million, at any time prior to June 30, 2010 the secured term loan at a discount price to par to be determined pursuant to certain auction procedures. Our right to prepay the term loan pursuant to these auction procedures expired on June 30, 2010. We did not make any term loan prepayments pursuant to these auction procedures prior to their expiration.

Collateral and Guarantors. Indebtedness under our senior credit facilities is guaranteed by HBI and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiary, other than certain “unrestricted subsidiaries” or immaterial subsidiaries. Indebtedness under our senior credit facilities is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our and the guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets, including personal property, real property and all capital stock owned by HBI, us and such guarantors, limited to 65% of such capital stock in the case of foreign subsidiaries, and all intercompany indebtedness.

Financial and Restrictive Covenants. Subject to the waiver of the maximum consolidated secured debt ratio financial covenant as described below, our revolving credit facility requires that we comply with a maximum consolidated secured debt ratio financial covenant so long as the revolving credit facility remains outstanding at the following levels:


Fiscal Quarter Ending		Maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio
March 31, 2011		3.38 to 1.00
June 30, 2011		3.38 to 1.00
September 30, 2011		3.38 to 1.00
December 31, 2011		3.38 to 1.00
March 31, 2012		3.38 to 1.00
June 30, 2012		3.38 to 1.00
September 30, 2012		3.38 to 1.00
December 31, 2012 and thereafter		3.38 to 1.00

On November 6, 2009, we amended our senior credit facilities and obtained a waiver from the requisite revolving lenders thereunder that waives our compliance with the maximum consolidated secured debt ratio financial covenant described above. The continuing effectiveness of this waiver is subject to the condition that we shall not have made dividends, redemptions or other restricted payments otherwise permitted by certain provisions of the credit agreement governing our senior credit facilities. If this condition is not satisfied, the waiver of the maximum consolidated secured debt ratio financial covenant shall be revoked and we will be required to comply (and, with respect to the two most recently completed fiscal quarters as of the earliest date that such condition shall fail to be satisfied, to have complied) with the maximum consolidated secured debt ratio financial covenant as described above.

As amended, to the extent the maximum consolidated secured debt ratio financial covenant is waived, our revolving credit facility requires that we comply with a minimum liquidity covenant for any fiscal quarter for which any revolving loans are outstanding on the last day of such fiscal quarter. To comply with this covenant, we must maintain liquidity of $162.5 million as of the last day of such fiscal quarter, subject to a limited right to receive subsequent curing equity contributions.

In addition, as amended, to the extent the maximum consolidated secured debt ratio financial covenant is waived (and our revolving credit facility remains outstanding), our revolving credit facility requires that we comply with a minimum adjusted EBITDA covenant at the following levels:


Period	Minimum Adjusted EBITDA
Two full consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or about June 30, 2011	$	42.9 million
Three full consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or about September 30, 2011	$	78.6 million
Four full consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or about December 31, 2011	$	112.5 million
Four full consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or about March 31, 2012	$	143.9 million
Four full consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or about June 30, 2012	$	198.4 million
Four full consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or about September 30, 2012	$	226.5 million
Four full consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or about December 31, 2012	$	276.8 million

Our senior credit facilities contain covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, loans, guarantees or advances, make restricted junior payments, including dividends,

redemptions or repurchases of capital stock and voluntary prepayments or repurchase of certain other indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions or sales of assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions or engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities.

Events of Default. The senior credit facilities contain customary events of default, subject to grace periods and materiality thresholds specified therein and not to apply to “unrestricted subsidiaries” and certain immaterial subsidiaries, including:

•

failure to make payments when due;

•

defaults under other material indebtedness;

•

noncompliance with covenants including a default for breach of the financial ratio test applicable to our revolving credit facility;

•

incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect;

•

bankruptcy or insolvency events;

•

material judgments;

•

certain events related to ERISA;

•

impairment of security interests in collateral or invalidity of guarantees; and

•

a “change of control.”

DESCRIPTION OF SENIOR NOTES

General

You can find the definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this description under the subheading “Certain definitions.” In this description, the “Company” refers to Hawker Beechcraft Notes Company (“HBNC”) and Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC (“HBAC”) and not to any of their Subsidiaries.

The senior notes were issued under an indenture (the “Senior Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors named thereto from time to time and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as original trustee, which original trustee was replaced with Deutsche Bank National Trust Company pursuant to an agreement effective October 15, 2008. The terms of the Senior Notes include those stated in the Senior Indenture and those made part of the Senior Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

As of the Issue Date, the Senior Notes have been guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each direct and indirect Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Domestic Subsidiary and that guarantees the obligations of the Company under HBAC’s Senior Credit Facilities (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries). The Senior Indenture provides that any direct or indirect parent company of the Company may guarantee the Senior Notes and in such case will allow the Company to satisfy its reporting obligations under the Senior Indenture by furnishing financial information relating to the parent. To the extent any such parent company is a holding company with no operations or assets (other than the stock of the Company or a direct or indirect parent), you should not assign any value to the parent’s guarantee.

The following description is only a summary of the material provisions of the Senior Notes and the Senior Indenture. We urge you to read the Senior Indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as a Holder of Senior Notes. Copies of the Senior Indenture are available upon request to the Company.

Brief description of the Senior Notes and the Guarantees

Following the issuance of the Senior Notes and the application of the use of proceeds therefrom, the Senior Notes:

•

are general unsecured, senior obligations of the Company;

•

rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Company, including Indebtedness under HBAC’s Senior Credit Facilities;

•

are effectively subordinated to all Secured Indebtedness of the Company, including Indebtedness under HBAC’s Senior Credit Facilities, to the extent of the collateral securing such Indebtedness;

•

are structurally subordinated to all existing and future Indebtedness and claims of holders of Preferred Stock of Subsidiaries of HBAC that do not guarantee the Senior Notes;

•

rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company, including the Senior Subordinated Notes; and

•

are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors that guarantee HBAC’s Senior Credit Facilities (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries).

The Guarantee of each Guarantor:

•

is a general, unsecured, senior obligation of such Guarantor;

•

rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, including its guarantees under HBAC’s Senior Credit Facilities;

•

is effectively subordinated to all Secured Indebtedness of such Guarantor, including its guarantee under HBAC’s Senior Credit Facilities, to the extent of the collateral securing such Indebtedness;

•

is structurally subordinated to all existing and future Indebtedness and claims of holders of Preferred Stock of Subsidiaries of such Guarantor that do not guarantee the Senior Subordinated Notes; and

•

is senior in right of payment to any future Subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor, including the guarantee of the Senior Subordinated Notes.

Holding Company Structure

HBAC is a holding company for its Subsidiaries, with no material operations of its own and only limited assets. Accordingly, HBAC is dependent upon the distribution of the earnings of its Subsidiaries, whether in the form of dividends, advances or payments on account of intercompany obligations, to service its debt obligations.

Hawker Beechcraft Notes Company

HBNC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HBAC, incorporated in Delaware for the purpose of serving as a co-issuer of the notes. We do not expect HBNC to have any operations, assets or any revenues. Additionally, HBNC may be dissolved in the event of a future conversion of HBAC into a corporation. As a result, prospective purchasers of the notes should not expect HBNC to participate in servicing the interest and principal obligations on the Senior Notes.

Principal, maturity and interest

The Company issued $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, of which $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount are fixed rate cash pay notes (the “Initial Senior Fixed Rate Notes”) and $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount are optional PIK-interest fixed rate notes (the “Initial Senior PIK-election Notes” and, together with the Initial Senior Fixed Rate Notes, the “Initial Senior Notes”). The Company may issue additional Senior Fixed Rate Notes (the “Additional Senior Fixed Rate Notes” and, together with the Initial Senior Fixed Rate Notes, the “Senior Fixed Rate Notes”) and/or Senior PIK-election Notes (the “Additional Senior PIK-election Notes” and, together with the Initial Senior PIK-election Notes, the “Senior PIK-election Notes” and, together with the Senior Fixed Rate Notes, the “Senior Notes”) under the Senior Indenture from time to time subject to the covenant described below under “Certain covenants—Limitation on incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”; provided, that in connection with the payment of PIK-interest (as defined under “—Senior PIK-election Notes”), the Company may, without the consent of the Holders (and without regard to any restrictions or limitations set forth under “Certain Covenants—Limitation on incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”), increase the outstanding principal amount of the Senior PIK-election Notes or issue Additional Senior PIK-election Notes (“PIK Notes”) under the Senior Indenture on the same terms and conditions as the Initial Senior PIK-election Notes (in each case, the “PIK Payment”). The Initial Senior Fixed Rate Notes and the Initial Senior PIK-election Notes are each a separate series of Senior Notes, but will be, together with any Additional Senior Fixed Rate Notes or Additional Senior PIK-election Notes, as applicable, subsequently issued under the Senior Indenture treated as a single class under the Senior Indenture except as otherwise stated herein. As a result, Holders of Senior Fixed Rate Notes and Senior PIK-election Notes will not have separate rights to, among other things, give notice of Defaults or direct the Trustee to exercise remedies during an Event of Default. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Senior Notes” for all purposes of the Senior Indenture and this “Description of senior notes” include any Additional Senior Notes that are actually issued, including any Additional PIK-election Notes that are issued and any increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Senior PIK-election Notes as a result of a PIK Payment, and references to “principal amount” of the Senior Notes or the Senior PIK-election Notes include any increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Senior PIK-election Notes as a result of a PIK Payment. Subject to the issuance of certificated PIK Notes as indicated under “—Senior PIK-election Notes,” the Senior Notes will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Senior Fixed Rate Notes

Interest on the Senior Fixed Rate Notes accrues at the rate of 8.5% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1 commencing October 1, 2007. The Company will make each interest payment to the Holders of record of the Senior Fixed Rate Notes on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15. Interest on the Senior Fixed Rate Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance of the Senior Fixed Rate Notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The Senior Fixed Rate Notes will mature on April 1, 2015.

Senior PIK-election Notes

Interest on the Senior PIK-election Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1 commencing October 1, 2007. The Company will make each interest payment to the Holders of record of the Senior PIK-election Notes on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15. Interest on the Senior PIK-election Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance of the Senior PIK-election Notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The Senior PIK-election Notes will mature on April 1, 2015.

For any interest period following the initial interest period and through April 1, 2011, the Company may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the Senior PIK-election Notes (i) entirely in cash (“Cash Interest”), (ii) entirely by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Senior PIK-election Notes or by issuing PIK Notes (“PIK-interest”) or (iii) 50% as Cash Interest and 50% as PIK-interest. The Company must elect the form of interest payment with respect to each interest period by delivering a notice to the Trustee prior to the beginning of each interest period. The Trustee shall promptly deliver a corresponding notice to the Holders. In the absence of such an election for any interest period, interest on the Senior PIK-election Notes will be payable in the form of the interest payment for the prior interest period. Interest for the first period commencing on the Issue Date shall be payable in cash. For the interest period ended April 1, 2010, we elected to pay interest on the senior PIK-election notes entirely in PIK-interest, and for the interest period ending October 1, 2010, we have elected to pay interest on the senior PIK-election notes entirely in cash. After April 1, 2011, the Company will make all interest payments on the Senior PIK-election Notes in cash.

Cash Interest on the Senior PIK-election Notes accrues at the rate of 8.875% per annum and is payable in cash. PIK-interest on the Senior PIK-election Notes will accrue at the Cash Interest rate per annum plus 0.75% and be payable (x) with respect to the Senior PIK-election Notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of, or held by, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee on the relevant record date, by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Senior PIK-election Notes represented by such global notes by an amount equal to the amount of PIK-interest for the applicable interest period (rounded up to the nearest $1,000) and (y) with respect to Senior PIK-election Notes represented by certificated notes, by issuing PIK Notes in certificated form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of PIK-interest for the applicable interest period (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar) and the Trustee will, at the request of the Company, authenticate and deliver such PIK Notes in certificated form for original issuance to the Holders on the relevant record date, as shown by the records of the Register.

Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Senior PIK-election Notes represented by global notes as a result of a PIK Payment, such Senior PIK-election Notes will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Payment. Any PIK Notes issued in certificated form will be dated as of the applicable interest payment date and will bear interest from and after such date. All PIK Notes issued pursuant to a PIK Payment will mature on April 1, 2015 and will be governed by, and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of, the Senior Indenture and shall have the same rights and benefits as the Senior PIK-election Notes issued on the Issue Date. Any certificated PIK Notes will be issued with the description “PIK” on the face of such PIK Note.

Payment of Interest

Cash payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes is payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or, at the option of the Company, cash payments of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, and cash interest with respect to Senior Notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof. Until otherwise designated by the Company, the Company’s office or agency will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose.

Special Interest may accrue on the Senior Notes in certain circumstances pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement as described under “Registration Rights; Special Interest.” Any Special Interest on the Senior PIK-election Notes will be payable in the same form of payment elected by the Company for the payment of interest with respect to the applicable interest period. All references in the Senior Indenture and this “Description of Senior Notes,” in any context, to any interest or other amount payable on or with respect to the Senior Notes shall be deemed to include any Special Interest pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

Guarantees

Each direct and indirect Restricted Subsidiary of HBAC that is a Domestic Subsidiary and that guarantees the obligations of HBAC under HBAC’s Senior Credit Facilities (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries) will jointly and severally fully and unconditionally guarantee, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, on a senior unsecured basis, the performance and full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under the Senior Indenture and the Senior Notes, whether for payment of principal of, or interest on or Special Interest in respect of the Senior Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, on the terms set forth in the Senior Indenture by executing the Senior Indenture. None of our Restricted Subsidiaries that are Foreign Subsidiaries or any Receivables Subsidiary guarantee the Senior Notes. Each Guarantee is a general unsecured senior obligation of the applicable Guarantor, rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and any future Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, is effectively subordinated to all Secured Indebtedness of such Guarantor to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Indebtedness, and ranks senior in right of payment to all existing and any future Subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor (including the Senior Subordinated Notes). The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to Indebtedness of Subsidiaries of HBAC that do not guarantee the Senior Notes. See also “Brief description of the Senior Notes and the Guarantees.”

Each Guarantee contains a provision intended to limit the Guarantor’s liability thereunder to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its Guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not, however, be effective to protect a Guarantee from being voided under fraudulent transfer law, or may reduce the Guarantor’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes its Guarantee worthless. See “Risk factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—Federal and state laws permit courts to void guarantees under certain circumstances.”

Any Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under the Senior Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

Each Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or sell all or substantially all its assets to (A) HBAC or another Guarantor without limitation or (B) any other Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Senior Indenture. See “Certain covenants—Merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets.”

The Guarantee of a Guarantor will automatically and unconditionally be released and discharged upon:

Senior Secured Indebtedness versus Senior Notes

Payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes and the payment of any Guarantee will be pari passu in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors, including the obligations of HBAC and, to the extent applicable, the Guarantors under the Senior Credit Facilities. However, the Senior Notes will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of HBAC’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future Secured Indebtedness (including Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2010:

(1) the Company’s Senior Indebtedness including the Senior Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes, was $1,925.0 million (excluding up to $235.6 million of available borrowings under HBAC’s revolving credit facility (net of $4.7 million outstanding letters of credit) and $37.4 million letter of credit issuances available under our synthetic letter of credit facility), of which $1,439.5 million was Secured Indebtedness; and

(2) the Guarantors’ Senior Indebtedness, consisting principally of their respective guarantees of Senior Indebtedness of HBAC under the Senior Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes, was $1,925.0 million in the aggregate (excluding up to $235.6 million of available borrowings under HBAC’s revolving credit facility (net of $4.7 million outstanding letters of credit) and $37.4 million letter of credit issuances available under our synthetic letter of credit facility), of which $1,439.5 million net of unamortized original issue discount was Secured Indebtedness.

Although the Senior Indenture contains limitations on the amount of additional Senior Indebtedness that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur and the amount of additional Secured Indebtedness that HBAC and the Guarantors may incur, under certain circumstances the amount of such Senior Indebtedness and Secured Indebtedness could be substantial. See “Certain covenants—Limitation on incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” and “Certain covenants—Liens.”

Liabilities of Subsidiaries versus Senior Notes

HBAC conducts all of its operations through its Subsidiaries. Some of HBAC’s Subsidiaries are not guaranteeing the Senior Notes, and Guarantees may be released under certain circumstances, as described under “Guarantees.” In addition, HBAC’s future Subsidiaries may not be required to guarantee the Senior Notes. Claims of creditors of such non-guarantor Subsidiaries, including trade creditors and creditors holding indebtedness or guarantees issued by such non-guarantor Subsidiaries, and claims of holders of Preferred Stock of such non-guarantor Subsidiaries generally will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such non-guarantor Subsidiaries over the claims of HBAC’s creditors, including Holders. Accordingly, the Senior Notes will be structurally subordinated to claims of creditors (including trade creditors) and holders of Preferred Stock, if any, of such non-guarantor Subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2010, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had consolidated total liabilities of approximately $25.7 million, an
