                                  SHAREHOLDERS

                        Re: June 10, 2003 Annual Meeting

There are only a few days until the First Aviation  Services  Annual Meeting and
we hope you will support us by telling your broker to vote the Wynnefield  slate
TODAY.

Your shares can only be voted  through your broker.  Due to the late approval of
the Wynnefield proxy, you should:

      1) Call your broker and tell them you want to vote the Wynnefield slate.

      2) If your  broker  is not  familiar  with the  Wynnefield  slate or needs
         additional  materials,  call Wynnefield at (212) 760-0330.  Give us the
         name,  phone  number,  and  contact  name for your broker and the phone
         number at which you can be reached if the broker  needs to confirm your
         instructions.

      3) Sign and date the  enclosed  proxy  form.  Fax it to your broker and to
         Wynnefield at (212) 760-0824.

If you have previously  voted for  management's  slate,  you have every right to
change your vote. Only your latest dated proxy counts. Vote the Wynnefield slate
today.

If you have  questions or need  assistance  in voting your  shares,  please call
Wynnefield  at (212)  760-0330.  Thank  you for your  prompt  attention  to this
matter.

Sincerely,

Wynnefield Capital, Inc.
