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, 1996.

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.  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 and, during 1996, an agreement was 
reached to extend the lease through September 30, 1998 at a 
reduced rental rate, 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.  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 ("Air Niugini") for a term of six 
months.  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.  Air Tindi has 
provided a letter of credit which serves as a security deposit 
under the lease.  In addition, Air Tindi pays JetFleet its pro-
rata share of maintenance costs 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 (the "DC-9 Lease).  
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 $11,539 
of interest income attributable to the DC-9 Lease during the six 
months ended June 30, 1997.

4.    Other

    On April 8, 1997 a Registration Statement on Form S-4 was 
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing a 
proposed consolidation of JetFleet and JetFleet II into a newly 
incorporated Delaware corporation, AeroCentury Corp.  Upon 
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the proposed 
consolidation will be submitted to the limited partners of 
JetFleet and JetFleet II for their approval.  If the consolidation 
is approved, JetFleet and JetFleet II will cease to exist as 
independent entities.


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

Capital Resources and Liquidity

    At the end of the second quarter of 1997, JetFleet had cash 
balances of $134,484.  This amount was held for the distribution 
made to the Unitholders in July 1997 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 incurred repair costs in 1996 for S/N 
72 which were $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.

    Since May 1995, JetFleet has made distributions at an 
annualized rate of 4%.  JetFleet currently has available adequate 
reserves to meet its immediate cash requirements.

    1997 versus 1996

    Cash flows from operations increased approximately $145,000.  
The increase from year to year was partially due to a decrease in 
net loss of approximately $56,000 (see Results of Operations, 
below). During the first six months of 1997, JetFleet had cash 
inflows of approximately $33,000 in maintenance reserves from 
lessees and rent receivable from lessees of approximately $5,000.  
These cash inflows were partially offset by the recognition of 
approximately $11,000 of unearned income and the recording of a 
receivable of approximately $21,000 for reimbursement of 
maintenance costs previously expensed and paid.  During the first 
six months of 1996, JetFleet's primary cash outflows consisted of 
accrued maintenance costs of approximately $42,000, previously 
accrued expenses of approximately $58,000 and unearned income of 
approximately $26,000.  Such cash outflows were partially offset 
by payments on accounts receivable of approximately $44,000.

    There were no investing activities during the six months ended 
June 30, 1996 and 1997.

    In 1997 and 1996, there were no financing sources of cash.  
Cash distributions to Unitholders were approximately the same from 
year to year.
Results of Operations

    JetFleet recorded net losses of ($260,334) and ($315,585) or 
($0.87) and ($1.06) per Limited Partnership Unit outstanding in 
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and net 
losses of ($124,352) and ($128,618) or ($0.42) and ($0.43) per 
Limited Partnership Unit outstanding in the three months ended 
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The decreased loss for the 
six month periods was primarily a result of the decreases of 
approximately $56,000 and $12,000 in maintenance and general and 
administrative costs, respectively, which was only partially 
offset by a decrease of approximately $14,000 in income recognized 
from the capital lease for the DC-9.

    1997 versus 1996

    Rental income was approximately the same in the six month 
periods ended June 30, 1997, and approximately $11,000 less for 
the three month period of 1997 compared to 1996. The decrease for 
the three month period was primarily a result of the decreased 
rent for S/N 57.  The decrease was partially offset by additional 
rent received for S/N 72 during the second quarter of 1997, which 
had been off lease during April 1996.  Interest income from the 
capital lease for the DC-9 was $14,000 and $7,000 lower in the six 
month and three month periods ending June 30, 1997, respectively, 
due to the decreasing lease payments receivable.

    There was no change in depreciation from 1996 to 1997.

    There was no accrual or payment of the base management, 
incentive management or re-lease fees for 1997 or 1996 as the 
annualized rate of distributions in those years did not meet the 
Preferred Return as defined in the Prospectus.

    General and administrative expenses decreased approximately 
$12,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the 
same period in 1996.  In 1996, such expenses included insurance 
costs associated with S/N 72 during its off-lease.  No insurance 
costs were incurred during the six month period in 1997.  General 
and administrative expenses for the three month periods in 1996 
and 1997 were approximately the same.

    Maintenance costs decreased approximately $56,000 and $21,000, 
for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1997, 
respectively, compared to the same periods in 1996, because 
JetFleet did not incur any repair costs in 1997 for S/N 72, as a 
result of it being on lease subject to a triple net lease and 
because JetFleet recorded an adjustment of approximately $21,000 
for the reimbursement of maintenance costs previously expensed and 
paid.
