                         UNITED  STATES OF AMERICA
                         CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD
                             WASHINGTON, D.C.

                  Adopted by the Civil Aeronautics  Board
                    at its office in Washington,  D.C.
                      on the 1st day of September,  1971




     EXECUTIVE JET AVIATION, INC.    :         Docket  17657



                                0 RDER

     Under the Board's Cease and Desist Order in  the Executive Jet case,
as amended by Order 71-7-77, dated July 15, 1971,  the Penn Central must
divest itself of all interest in EJA by September  1, 1971.

     On March 31, 1971, the prospective purchasers of  the Penn Central's
interest in EJA, Bruce G. Sundlun and Robert L. Scott,  Jr., entered into
a preliminary arrangement with the trustee, Detroit  Bank and Trust Company.

     The purchase agreement was contingent upon Sundlun  and Scott making
satisfactory refinancing arrangements with EJA's creditors.   Prior to
our last action in this matter extending the divestiture  date to
September 1, 1971, and directing the liquidating trustee  to comment on
steps which might be taken to leave the trustee free  to negotiate with
other prospective purchasers, 1/  Sundlun and Scott had  reached general
agreements with five of six major creditors.  They had, however,  been
unable to reach agreement with a sixth major creditor,  the Ledbetter
Leasing Corporation.  EJA is obligated to Ledbetter on  an eight-year
lease of a Boeing 707, which will continue in effect until April  1975.


1/  Pursuant to the Board's request in Order 71-7-77,  the trustee,
Detroit Bank and Trust Company. filed a report dated August  3, 1971.
In posing a series of questions to be answered by the  trustee, we noted
our concern with the delay in completing divestiture  arrangements and
our desire to give consideration to whether the trustee  should seek
other purchasers for the Penn Central's interest in EJA. As  indicated
herein, infra, Sundlun and Scott have apparently overcome  the one remain-
ing obstacle to a final purchase agreement.  Further  action by the trustee
to explore the possibility of seeking other purchasers  is therefore
unnecessary at this time.  Sundlun filed further comments on  the report
of the trustee on August 12, 1971.
