Item 2: Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On May 20, 1999, Elsinore Acquisition Corporation ("EAC"), a
newly-created, wholly-owned subsidiary of Aircraft Service International Group,
Inc. (the "Company") acquired substantially all of the assets of Elsinore, L.P.,
which includes Elsinore, L.P.'s 23 operating units in 10 states, the U.S. Virgin
Islands and Puerto Rico providing a variety of ground handling, fueling,
aircraft cleaning, and other aviation services to major commercial airlines. EAC
will continue substantially the same business conducted by Elsinore, L.P. The
Company and its sole shareholder, Ranger Aerospace Corporation, are guarantors
of EAC's obligations under the agreement governing the asset purchase.

         The total consideration paid by EAC was approximately $6,224,372
(subject to post-closing adjustments), which amount includes $5,000,000 in cash,
a promissory note in the principal amount of $899,372 and the assumption by EAC
of approximately $325,000 of liabilities of Elsinore, L.P. The promissory note
has a term of one year from the date of purchase, and its principal amount is
subject to post-closing adjustments. The purchase price was determined based on
negotiations between the parties. The Company borrowed the cash portion of the
purchase price from Key Corporate Capital, Inc. ("Key") pursuant to the terms of
an amendment to the Company's existing credit facility with Key, which the
Company in turn loaned to EAC.
