                              September 30, 1996

1.          Basis  of  Presentation

     JetFleet  Aircraft,  L.P. ("JetFleet"), a California limited partnership,
was  formed  on  February 16, 1989 and commenced operations in November 1989. 
The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  reflect  all  adjustments
(consisting  of  only  normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
CMA  Capital  Group,  the  Corporate  General  Partner,  necessary  for a fair
presentation  of  the  financial  results  for  such  periods.  The results of
operations  for  such  periods  are  not  necessarily indicative of results of
operations for a full year.  The statements should be read in conjunction with
the  Summary  of  Significant Accounting Policies and other notes to financial
statements  included  in  JetFleet's   Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended  December  31,  1995.

2.          Aircraft  Under  Operating  Leases

     deHavilland  Aircraft

     JetFleet    owns  a  24.37% undivided interest in a deHavilland DHC-7-103
aircraft,  serial  number  72  ("S/N 72") and a 95.90% undivided interest in a
deHavilland  DHC-7-102  aircraft,  serial number 57 ("S/N 57").  The remaining
undivided interests in these two aircraft are owned by the seller and JetFleet
 Aircraft  II,  L.P. ("JetFleet II "), a California limited partnership and an
affiliate  of  JetFleet    (collectively,  the  "Co-Owners").

     S/N  57  was  subject  to  a triple net lease with Johnson Controls World
Services,  Inc. ("JCWS") for a two year term, renewable in one year increments
for  an  aggregate period of eight years.  JCWS operated S/N 57 under an eight
year contract, which commenced in 1986, with the United States Army for use in
the  Marshall  Islands  at  the  site of the Army's deep space research center
where  missile  guidance  systems  are  tested.

     During  1994,  the  lease  with  JCWS  for  S/N  57  was extended through
September 30, 1995, at reduced rent of $46,000 per month, of which JetFleet's 
share  was  $44,114.   A new contract with the United States Army commenced on
February 15, 1995 for a term of two years with three two-year renewal options.
 The  contract  was  awarded  to  Range  Systems  Engineering, a subsidiary of
Raytheon  Service  Company  ("Raytheon").   JetFleet's  management anticipates
that the lease will continue for as long as the underlying government contract
continues,  although  there  is  no  contractual  requirement to this effect. 
During  1995  the lease was extended through September 30, 1996.  An agreement
recently has been reached to extend the lease for S/N 57 through September 30,
1998 at a reduced rental rate of $38,500 per month, of which JetFleet's  share
is  $36,922,  with  an  option  to  extend  the term for two additional years.

2.          Aircraft  Under  Operating  Leases  (continued)


     S/N  72, which, at the time of purchase, was subject to the same contract
with  JCWS  as S/N 57, was returned by JCWS during June 1993.  In August 1993,
S/N  72  was leased to Eclipse Airlines.  Upon its return from Eclipse, S/N 72
was  leased  to The AGES Group, L.P. ("AGES") for the period December 22, 1993
through  September  1,  1994  at  a  monthly rental rate of $38,800.  Upon its
return  by  AGES,  S/N  72  underwent  certain scheduled maintenance and other
repair  work.

     On  March  31, 1995, S/N 72 was leased to the National Airline Commission
of Papua New Guinea (trading as Air Niugini) ("Air Niugini") for a term of six
months  at  a monthly rental rate of $35,000 to be paid to the Co-Owners based
upon  their  pro  rata ownership of the aircraft.  Air Niugini paid a security
deposit  of  $105,000.   The lease was subsequently extended until October 31,
1995.    JetFleet  collected a total of $53,060 in monthly lease payments from
Air  Niugini  during  the  term  of  the lease.  In addition, Air Niugini paid
JetFleet  its pro-rata share of maintenance costs of $31,710.  Upon its return
by  Air  Niugini,  S/N  72  underwent  certain scheduled maintenance and other
repair  work.

     On  April  25, 1996, S/N 72 was leased to Air Tindi Limited ("Air Tindi")
for a term of thirty-six months at a monthly rental rate of $47,500 to be paid
to  the  Co-Owners  based  upon their pro rata ownership of the aircraft.  Air
Tindi  has  provided a letter of credit in the amount of $142,000 which serves
as  a security deposit under the lease.  In addition, Air Tindi pays JetFleet 
its  pro-rata  share  of maintenance costs of $265.00 per hour of usage, which
amount is to be applied for scheduled overhauls and inspections.  Air Tindi is
a regional airline headquartered in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada
and  provides charter and regularly scheduled flights throughout the Northwest
Territories.

3.          Investment  in  Capital  Lease

     McDonnell  Douglas  DC-9-32  Aircraft

     JetFleet    owns a 50.00% interest in a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32, serial
number 47236 (the "DC-9").  The remaining 50.00% interest is owned by JetFleet
II  .  The DC-9 is leased back to the seller, Interglobal, Inc. for thirty-six
months  at a monthly rate of $30,000 (the "DC-9 Lease"), of which JetFleet  is
entitled  to  $15,000.  The DC-9 is currently sub-leased to and being operated
by  Aero  California  S.A. de CV.  As part of the sale and leaseback described
above,  Interglobal,  Inc.  assigned  its  rights  under  the  sublease to the
Co-Owners.    JetFleet's    investment in the DC-9 is being accounted for as a
capital  lease.  JetFleet    recorded  $10,530  and $36,710 of interest income
attributable  to  the DC-9 Lease during the three months and nine months ended
September  30,  1996,  respectively.


ITEM  2.          MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF
                    FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND  RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Capital  Resources  and  Liquidity

     At  the  end of the third quarter of 1996, JetFleet  had cash balances of
$83,995.  This amount was held for the distribution made to the Unitholders in
October  1996  and  to  pay  accrued  expenses.

     During  the  quarter,  JetFleet's  primary sources of liquidity were cash
flows  from  leasing  operations  and  capital  lease  payments.   JetFleet's 
liquidity  will  vary  in the future, increasing to the extent cash flows from
operations  exceed  expenses,  and decreasing as distributions are made to the
Unitholders  and  to  the  extent  expenses  exceed  cash  flows  from leases.

     JetFleet    uses  substantially  all its operating cash flow to make cash
distributions  to  its  Unitholders.   Since JetFleet's  leases are triple net
leases  (the  lessee  pays  operating  and maintenance expenses, insurance and
taxes), JetFleet  does not anticipate that it will incur significant operating
expenses  in  connection with ownership of its aircraft as long as they remain
on  lease.    However,  JetFleet  has incurred repair costs in 1996 for S/N 72
which  are  $35,000  in  excess  of the amounts collected from lessees.  These
repair costs are the result of maintenance performed to enhance the aircraft's
marketability.

     JetFleet  currently has available adequate reserves to meet its immediate
cash  requirements.

     Since May 1995, JetFleet  has made distributions at an annualized rate of
4%,  as  compared to 3% from January through April 1995, primarily because S/N
72  was  on lease from April through October 1995.  As discussed above, S/N 72
was  delivered  to Air Tindi on April 25, 1996 under a thirty-six month lease.

     1996  versus  1995

     Cash  flows  from operations decreased by approximately $22,000 primarily
due  to  an    increase  in  net loss and decreases in trade payables, accrued
maintenance and unearned interest income which were only partially offset by a
net decrease in receivables from affiliates, prepaid rents and amortization of
organization  costs.

     Cash  flows  from investing activities increased approximately $30,000 in
1996  primarily  because  the  capital  lease  for  the  DC-9, entered into in
December,  1994,  included  an  initial  prepayment  provision requiring three
monthly  payments  in  advance  (December 1994 and January and February 1995).

     In  1996  and  1995,  there  were  no  financing  sources  of cash.  Cash
distributions  to  Unitholders increased by approximately $50,000, or by $0.17
per  Limited  Partnership  Unit  outstanding.   The increased distributions to
Unitholders  resulted  from  distributing  the  cash  received  in  excess  of
operating  expenses  from  S/N  72 during its on-lease periods during 1995 and
1996.


Results  of  Operations

     JetFleet  recorded net losses of ($433,803) and ($383,723) or ($1.45) and
($1.28)  per  Limited  Partnership  Unit outstanding for the nine months ended
September  30,  1996  and 1995, respectively, and ($118,218) and ($109,891) or
($0.40)  and  ($0.37)  per  Limited Partnership Unit outstanding for the three
months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increased loss
for  the  nine month period in 1996 relative to 1995 was primarily a result of
the  increase  of approximately $42,000 in general and administrative costs as
well  as  a  decrease  of  approximately $20,000 in income recognized from the
capital  lease  for  the  DC-9  which  were partially offset by an increase of
$10,000 in rental income.  The $9,000 increase in net loss for the three month
period in 1996 versus 1995 was primarily due to a $13,000 increase general and
administrative  expenses  and  a $7,000 decrease in interest income recognized
from  the  capital  lease  which  were only partially offset by an increase of
$11,000  in  rental  income.

     1996  versus  1995

     Rental  income  was  $10,000  higher during the nine month period in 1996
versus  1995  and  $11,000 higher during the three month period in 1996 versus
1995  due  to  the  increased  monthly rent received from S/N 72 during 1996. 
Interest  income  from the capital lease for the DC-9 was $20,000 lower during
the  nine  month  period in 1996 versus 1995 and $7,000 lower during the three
month  period  in  1996  versus  1995  due  to  the  decreasing lease payments
receivable.

     There  was  no  change  in  depreciation  from  1995  to  1996.

     There  was  no  accrual  or  payment  of  the  base management, incentive
management  or  re-lease  fees  for  1996  or  1995  as the annualized rate of
distributions  in  those years did not meet the Preferred Return as defined in
the  Prospectus.

     General  and  administrative expenses increased approximately $42,000 and
$13,000  for  the  nine  month  and three month periods, respectively, of 1996
versus  1995, due to increased costs associated with the ongoing management of
JetFleet's    portfolio  as  well  as  the  increased  costs  of administering
investor-related inquiries.  As mentioned above, JetFleet  has incurred repair
costs  in 1996 for S/N 72 which are $35,000 in excess of the amounts collected
from  lessees,  an  increase  of  approximately  $3,000  from  1995.
