To Our Clients:

     We are enclosing herewith a Prospectus dated o, 2000, of Morgan Stanley
Aircraft Finance ("MSAF") and a related Letter of Transmittal (which together
constitute the "Exchange Offer") relating to the offer by MSAF to exchange five
subclasses of its Notes due March 15, 2025 (the "New Notes"), pursuant to an
offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), for a like principal amount of each of the five subclasses
of its issued and outstanding Notes due March 15, 2025 (the "Old Notes") upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer.

     Please note that the Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on o, 2000, unless extended.

     The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum number of Old Notes
being tendered.

     We are the participant in the book-entry transfer facility of Old Notes
held by us for your account. A tender of such Old Notes can be made only by us
as the participant in the book-entry transfer facility and pursuant to your
instructions. The Letter of Transmittal is furnished to you for your
information only and cannot be used by you to tender Old Notes held by us for
your account.

     We request instructions as to whether you wish to tender any or all of any
subclass of Old Notes held by us for your account pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Exchange Offer. We also request that you confirm that we may
on your behalf make the representations contained in the Letter of Transmittal
that are to be made with respect to you as beneficial owner.

     Pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal, each holder of Old Notes will
represent to MSAF that (i) the New Notes acquired in the Exchange Offer are
being obtained in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving such
New Notes, (ii) the holder of the Old Notes has no arrangement or understanding
with any person to participate in the distribution of such New Notes, (iii) if
the holder is not a broker-dealer or is a broker-dealer but will not receive
New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, the holder is not
engaged in and does not intend to participate in a distribution of the New
Notes and (iv) the holder is not an "affiliate" of MSAF within the meaning of
Rule 405 under the Securities Act. If the tendering holder is a broker-dealer
(whether or not it is also an "affiliate" of MSAF) that will receive New Notes
for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer, we will represent on behalf
of such broker-dealer that the Old Notes to be exchanged for the New Notes were
acquired by it as a result of marketing-making activities or other trading
activities, and acknowledge on behalf of such broker-dealer that it will
deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with any resale of such New Notes. By acknowledging that it will
deliver and by delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the
Securities Act in connection with any resale of such New Notes, such
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within
the meaning of the Securities Act.
