Various other matters are addressed in the opinion letters of Pillsbury ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, each of which has been separately provided to you. We express no opinion with respect to those matters herein, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed such matters. We express no opinion as to the Federal Aviation Act (the “Federal Aviation Act”) or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or, except as provided in numbered paragraph 15 below, the Cape Town Convention (as defined in the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment and the related Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment, as in effect in the United States; collectively, the “Convention”).

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, as of the date hereof:

1. The Company is a corporation under the DGCL with corporate power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Class B Preliminary Prospectus and the Class B Prospectus (in each case including the Incorporated Documents) and to enter into the New Company Documents and the Class B Underwriting Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder. With your consent, based solely on certificates from public officials, we confirm that the Company is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Class B Underwriting Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Class B Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

3. The execution and delivery of the Class B Underwriting Agreement by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Class B Pass Through Certificates to the Underwriter pursuant to the Class B Underwriting Agreement, the execution and delivery by the Company of the New Company Documents and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the New Company Documents do not on the date hereof:

(i) violate the provisions of the Company Governing Documents;

(ii) result in the breach of or a default under any of the Specified Agreements;

(iii) violate any federal or New York statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the DGCL; or

(iv) require any consents, approvals, or authorizations to be obtained by the Company from, or any registrations, declarations or filings to be made by the Company with, any governmental authority under any federal or New York statute, rule or

October 4, 2017

regulation applicable to the Company or the DGCL, in each case, except (a) those consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings that have been obtained or made on or prior to the date hereof and (b) filings and recordings required in order to perfect or otherwise protect the security interests under each Indenture, as supplemented by the related Indenture Supplement.

4. The execution, delivery and performance of the New Company Documents (other than the Equipment Notes) by the Company have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the New Company Documents (other than the Equipment Notes) have been duly executed and delivered by the Company. Each of the New Company Documents (other than the Equipment Notes) constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. The Equipment Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and, when executed, issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the related Indenture and delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, will constitute legally valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

5. When executed, issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Pass Through Trust Agreement and delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Class B Underwriting Agreement, the Class B Pass Through Certificates will be validly issued and entitled to the benefits provided by the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

6. Each of the Opinion Documents to which the Class B Pass Through Trustee is a party constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Class B Pass Through Trustee, enforceable against the Class B Pass Through Trustee in accordance with its terms and each of the Opinion Documents to which each of the Pass Through Trustees (other than the Class B Pass Through Trustee) is a party constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Pass Through Trustees (other than the Class B Pass Through Trustee), enforceable against the Pass Through Trustees (other than the Class B Pass Through Trustee) in accordance with its terms. Each of the Opinion Documents to which the Subordination Agent is a party constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Subordination Agent, enforceable against the Subordination Agent in accordance with its terms. Each of the Opinion Documents to which the Paying Agent is a party constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Paying Agent, enforceable against the Paying Agent in accordance with its terms.

7. The Pass Through Trust Agreement has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

8. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act. With your consent, based solely on our review of the list of stop orders contained on the Commission’s website at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇ on October 4, 2017, we confirm that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Act and no proceedings therefor have been initiated by the Commission. The Class B Preliminary Prospectus has been filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Act, the Class B Prospectus has been filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and Rule 430B under the Act, and each Specified IFWP has been filed in accordance with Rule 433(d) under the Act.

October 4, 2017

9. The Registration Statement at September 20, 2017, including the information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act, and the Class B Prospectus, as of its date, each appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable form requirements for registration statements on Form S-3 under the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; it being understood, however, that we express no view with respect to Regulation S-T or the financial statements, schedules or other financial data, included in, incorporated by reference in, or omitted from, the Registration Statement or the Class B Prospectus. For purposes of this paragraph, we have assumed that the statements made in the Registration Statement, the Class B Prospectus and the Form T-1 are correct and complete.

10. The statements in the Class B Preliminary Prospectus and the Class B Prospectus under the captions “Prospectus Supplement Summary,” “Description of the Certificates,” “Description of the Liquidity Facilities,” “Description of the Intercreditor Agreement,” “Description of the Equipment Notes” and “Possible Issuance of Additional Certificates and Refinancing and Reissuance of Certificates,” insofar as such statements purport to describe or summarize certain provisions of the Class B Pass Through Certificates, the Pass Through Trust Agreement, the Liquidity Facility and the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, are accurate descriptions or summaries in all material respects. The statements set forth under the caption “Certain ERISA Considerations” in the Class B Preliminary Prospectus and in the Class B Prospectus, insofar as such statements purport to describe or summarize certain U.S. federal laws referred to therein, are accurate descriptions or summaries in all material respects. The statements set forth under the caption “Description of the Equipment Notes—Remedies” in the Class B Preliminary Prospectus and in the Class B Prospectus, insofar as such statements purport to describe or summarize provisions of Section 1110 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, are accurate descriptions or summaries in all material respects.

11. Based solely upon a certificate of an officer of the Company as to factual matters, the Company is not, and immediately after giving effect to the sale of the Class B Pass Through Certificates in accordance with the Class B Underwriting Agreement and the application of the proceeds as described in the Class B Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds” will not be, required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

12. Assuming the Class B Pass Through Certificates are offered and sold in the manner contemplated by the Class B Prospectus and the Class B Underwriting Agreement and assuming the application of the proceeds as described in the Class B Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds,” the trust created under the Pass Through Trust Agreement (the “Trust”) is not required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

13. Each Indenture, as supplemented by the related Indenture Supplement, creates a valid security interest in favor of the Loan Trustee for the benefit of the applicable Equipment Note holders, Indenture Indemnitees and Related Indenture Indemnitees in that portion of the

October 4, 2017

Page 8

collateral described in the section entitled “Granting Clause” under such Indenture in which the Company has rights and a valid security interest may be created under Article 9 of the NY UCC (the “UCC Collateral”).

14. Each Delaware Financing Statement Amendment is in appropriate form for filing in the Delaware Filing Office. Upon the proper filing of each Delaware Financing Statement Amendment in the Delaware Filing Office, the security interest in favor of the Loan Trustee for the benefit of the applicable Equipment Note holders, Indenture Indemnitees and Related Indenture Indemnitees in the Company’s rights in the UCC Collateral granted under the related Indenture and described in such Delaware Financing Statement Amendment will be perfected to the extent a security interest in such UCC Collateral can be perfected under the Delaware UCC by the filing of a financing statement in that office.

15. Each Indenture, together with the related Indenture Supplement, is effective to create an “international interest” in the related Airframe (as defined in such Indenture and described in such Indenture Supplement, an “Airframe”) and the related Engines (as defined in such Indenture and described in such Indenture Supplement, the “Engines”; an Airframe and the related Engines, collectively, an “Aircraft”) that are properly described in such Indenture Supplement.

16. The Loan Trustee will be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the federal Bankruptcy Code with respect to the UCC Collateral that consist of the Airframes and Engines that were first placed in service after October 22, 1994 and all records and logs maintained with respect to such Airframes and Engines that are required to be surrendered or returned by the Company in connection with the return or surrender of such Airframes and Engines, in each case, if the Company were to become a debtor in a case under Chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code.

17. The execution and delivery of the Indenture Amendments, the Participation Agreement Amendments, the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement and the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement are permitted pursuant to the terms of the Existing Documents.

Except as expressly set forth in numbered paragraphs 13 and 14, we do not express any opinion with respect to the creation, validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any security interest or lien or the effectiveness of any sale or other conveyance or transfer of real or personal property. The opinions above do not include any opinions with respect to compliance with laws relating to permissible rates of interest.

Our opinions are subject to: (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors (except with respect to numbered paragraph 16 above); (ii) the effects of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith, fair dealing and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; and (iii) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court

October 4, 2017

Page 9

decisions of provisions for the indemnification or exculpation of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification, exculpation or contribution is contrary to public policy. We express no opinion with respect to (a) any provision for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty; (b) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law (except for the validity under the laws of the State of New York, but subject to mandatory choice of law rules and constitutional limitations, of provisions in the Operative Documents which expressly choose New York as the governing law for such Operative Documents), jurisdiction (except for the validity under the laws of the State of New York, but subject to mandatory jurisdiction rules and constitutional limitations, of provisions in the Operative Documents which expressly provide for submission to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of New York state courts), venue, service of process, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief; (c) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights; (d) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights; (e) grants of setoff rights; (f) provisions to the effect that a guarantor is liable as a primary obligor, and not as a surety, and provisions purporting to waive modifications of any guaranteed obligation to the extent such modification constitutes a novation; (g) provisions for the payment of attorneys’ fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy; (h) proxies and powers of attorney; (i) except as expressly set forth in numbered paragraph 3(ii) of this letter, provisions prohibiting, restricting or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any agreement, right or property; (j) covenants not to compete; (k) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies; (l) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations; (m) provisions permitting, upon acceleration of any indebtedness, collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon; (n) any provision of the Operative Documents to the extent that such provision refers to, incorporates or is based upon the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York or the United States; and (o) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect.

We express no opinion or confirmation as to federal or state securities laws (except as expressly set forth in numbered paragraphs 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of this letter as to federal securities laws), tax laws (except as set forth in our letter to you of even date with respect to certain tax matters and as expressly set forth in the second sentence of numbered paragraph 10), antitrust or trade regulation laws, insolvency laws (except as expressly set forth in numbered paragraph 16), fraudulent transfer laws, antifraud laws, fiduciary duty requirements, federal aviation laws (including ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code, “Transportation”) and any laws relating to the particular nature of any Aircraft (other than, with respect to numbered paragraph 15 only, the Convention and, with respect to numbered paragraph 16 only, Section 1110 of the federal Bankruptcy Code) or regulations, pension or employee benefit laws (except as expressly set forth in the second sentence of numbered paragraph 10), usury laws, environmental laws, margin regulations; laws and regulations relating to commodities trading, futures and swaps; Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules; National Futures Association rules; or the rules of any stock exchange, clearing organization, designated contract market or other regulated entity for trading, processing, clearing or reporting transactions in securities, commodities, futures or swaps; or export control, foreign assets control, sanctions, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws and regulations (without limiting other laws, regulations or rules excluded by customary practice).

October 4, 2017

Page 10

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the opinions expressed above are also subject to our assumption that any conditions to the effectiveness of the Operative Documents have been satisfied or waived.

The opinions set forth above are also subject to (i) the unenforceability of contractual provisions waiving or varying the rules listed in Section 9-602 of the Applicable UCC and, (ii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of contractual provisions respecting self-help or summary remedies without notice of or opportunity for hearing or correction.

Our opinion in numbered paragraph 13 above is limited to Article 9 of the NY UCC and our opinion in numbered paragraph 14 above is limited to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, and therefore those opinion paragraphs, among other things, do not address collateral of a type not subject to, or excluded from the coverage of, Article 9 of the NY UCC or Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, as applicable.

Additionally,

(1)

We express no opinion with respect to the priority of any security interest or lien.

(2)

We express no opinion with respect to the perfection of the security interest in any property, including, without limitation, the Airframes and Engines, subject to a statute, regulation or treaty of the United States whose requirements for a security interest’s obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor with respect to the property preempt Section 9-310(a) of the Applicable UCC.

(3)

We express no opinion with respect to any agricultural lien or any collateral that consists of letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, goods covered by a certificate of title, claims against any government or governmental agency, consumer goods, crops growing or to be grown, timber to be cut, goods which are or are to become fixtures, as-extracted collateral or cooperative interests.

(4)

We assume the descriptions of collateral contained in, or attached as schedules to, each Indenture, as supplemented by the related Indenture Supplement, and the Delaware Financing Statements and Delaware Financing Statement Amendments accurately and sufficiently describe the collateral intended to be covered by such documents or such Delaware Financing Statements and Delaware Financing Statement Amendments; provided, that we make no such assumption as to the sufficiency of any collateral described solely by a type of collateral defined in Article 9 of the Applicable UCC.

(5)

We have assumed that each grantor of any security interest has, or with respect to after-acquired property will have, rights in the collateral granted by it or the power to transfer rights in such collateral, and that each such grantor has received value, and express no opinion as to the nature or extent of any grantor’s rights in

October 4, 2017

Page 11

any of the collateral and we note that with respect to any after-acquired property, the security interest will not attach or be perfected until the applicable grantor acquires such rights or power.

(6)

We call to your attention the fact that a security interest in “proceeds” (as defined in the Applicable UCC) of collateral is governed and restricted by Section 9-315 of the Applicable UCC.

(7)

We have assumed that the exact legal name of the Company is as set forth in the copy of the organizational documents certified by the Delaware Secretary of State, and we have also assumed the accuracy of the other factual information set forth on the Delaware Financing Statements and Delaware Financing Statement Amendments.

(8)

We call to your attention that Section 552 of the federal Bankruptcy Code limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the federal Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a security interest arising from a security agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of such case.

(9)

We express no opinion with respect to any goods which are accessions to, or commingled or processed with, other goods to the extent that the security interest is limited by Section 9-335 or 9-336 of the Applicable UCC.

(10)

We express no opinion as to the security interest of the Loan Trustee in any UCC Collateral that is described by way of reference to any supplement to an Indenture other than the related Indenture Supplement.

(11)

We call to your attention that a security interest or lien may not attach or become enforceable or be perfected as to contracts, licenses, permits, equity interests or other property that are not assignable under applicable law, or are subject to consent requirements or contractual or other prohibitions or restrictions on assignment, except to the extent that any such prohibitions, restrictions or consent requirements may be rendered ineffective to prevent the attachment of the security interest pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the Applicable UCC; and we note that the extent of any security interest created in reliance on such provisions of the Applicable UCC may be limited.

(12)

We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of any Operative Document purporting to agree to the classification or type of any property for purposes of the Applicable UCC.

(13)

We express no opinion with respect to the security interest of the Loan Trustee for the benefit of any secured party except to the extent that the Loan Trustee has been duly appointed as agent for such persons.

October 4, 2017

(14)

We express no opinion as to any Airframes or Engines not described in any Indenture Supplement.

Our opinion in numbered paragraph 15 above is limited to the Convention and is also subject to the following additional exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

(1)

The opinions given herein are based upon the English language version of the Convention as in effect on the date hereof in the United States. The Convention came into force on March 1, 2006. As at the date hereof, there is no applicable judicial precedent in the United States known to us concerning the Convention. In rendering any opinion on the Convention, we are basing our opinions on our reading of the Convention as in effect on the date hereof in the United States, without the benefit of judicial precedent or customary practices and procedures. We note that other jurisdictions signatory to the Convention may have made declarations as to the effectiveness of certain provisions that are different than the declarations as to such provisions made by the United States and this opinion is limited to the Convention as in effect in the United States.

(2)

We have further assumed that the Airframe and Engines constituting each Aircraft are correctly identified and described by manufacturer’s serial number, name of manufacturer and model designation for purposes of the registrations under the Convention.

(3)

We have assumed that at the time each Indenture (together with the related Indenture Supplement with respect to the applicable Aircraft) was executed, for purposes of Article 3 of the Convention, the Company was “situated” in the United States.

(4)

We have assumed that for purposes of Article 7 of the Convention, the Company has the “power to dispose” of the Airframe and the Engines comprising each Aircraft.

(5)

Except as expressly stated in the opinions above, no opinion is rendered herein as to the registration, validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the “international interest” created by each Indenture (together with the related Indenture Supplement with respect to the applicable Aircraft) with respect to the applicable Aircraft or as to recognition of the perfection of such interests as against third parties in any legal proceeding outside the United States.

(6)

We have assumed that each Airframe and the Engines constitute “Aircraft Objects” within the meaning of the Convention and are not used in military, customs or police services.

(7)

We have assumed that each Indenture (together with the related Indenture Supplement with respect to the applicable Aircraft) enables the obligations secured by the collateral described in such Indenture (together with such Indenture Supplement with respect to such Aircraft) to be identified within the meaning of the Convention.

October 4, 2017

Page 13

With your consent, except to the extent that we have expressly opined as to such matters with respect to the Company, the Pass Through Trustees or the Subordination Agent herein, we have assumed that (a) the Class B Underwriting Agreement and the Opinion Documents (other than the Equipment Notes) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, (b) the Class B Underwriting Agreement and the Operative Documents (other than the Equipment Notes) constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, (c) each Airframe is an “aircraft” as defined in Section 40102 of the Federal Aviation Act and that the Engines are “aircraft engines” as defined in Section 40102 of the Federal Aviation Act, (d) the Company is an “air carrier” within the meaning of Title 49 operating under a certificate issued pursuant to Chapter 447 of the Federal Aviation Act for aircraft capable of carrying 10 or more individuals or 6,000 pounds or more of cargo, is a “citizen of the United States” as such term is defined in Section 40102 of the Federal Aviation Act and holds all authority, necessary licenses and certificates under the Federal Aviation Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder necessary for the conduct of its business and to perform its obligations under the Operative Documents to which it is a party, (e) since the original date of execution thereof, except as specifically set forth in the Indenture Amendments, the Participation Agreement Amendments, the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement and the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, no Existing Documents have been amended, restated, modified, supplemented, or terminated and that no rights pursuant thereto have been released, waived, or modified either expressly or by any action or inaction of the parties thereto and that no party has defaulted on its obligations under the Existing Documents, (f) immediately prior to giving effect to the Indenture Amendments, the Participation Agreement Amendments, the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement and the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, each of the Existing Documents amended thereby was in full force and effect and was the legally valid, binding obligation of each of the parties thereto enforceable in accordance with its terms, (g) the Company has received a Ratings Confirmation (as defined in the Existing Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to the Class AA Pass Through Certificates and the Class A Pass Through Certificates in connection with the issuance of the Class B Pass Through Certificates and the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, (h) no Delaware Financing Statement has been amended, assigned, released or terminated other than the amendments effected by the Delaware Financing Statement Amendments and (i) the status of the Class B Underwriting Agreement and the Opinion Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.

Our opinions expressed herein with respect to the Operative Documents address only the express terms of such documents (excluding any provisions incorporating any document or agreement, or the provisions of any other document or agreement, that is not an Operative Document, by reference) and not any other document or agreement, or the provisions of such other document or agreement, incorporated therein or made a part thereof by reference.

October 4, 2017

Page 14

Insofar as our opinions require interpretation of the Specified Agreements, with your consent, (i) we have assumed that all courts of competent jurisdiction would enforce such agreements in accordance with their plain meaning, (ii) we express no opinion with respect to a breach or default under any Specified Agreement that would occur only upon the happening of a contingency and (iii) we express no opinion with respect to any matters which require the performance of a mathematical calculation or the making of a financial or accounting determination.

This letter is furnished only to you and is solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions referenced in the first paragraph of this letter. This letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or furnished to, assigned to, quoted to, or relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose (including any person or entity that acquires Class B Pass Through Certificates or any interest therein from you), without our prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in our sole discretion. In addition, we hereby consent to your furnishing a copy of this letter: (i) to governmental regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over any person permitted to rely on this letter, (ii) to attorneys as needed in connection with any legal action arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Class B Underwriting Agreement and each Indenture to which a person permitted to rely on this letter is a party, and (iii) as required by any order of, or in connection with any proceeding of, any court or governmental authority; provided, however, that no such person shall be entitled to rely on this letter.

Very truly yours,

Re: American Airlines, Inc. $193,440,000 of Pass Through Certificates, Series 2016-3B

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as U.S. Department of Transportation (“Department of Transportation”) and Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) regulatory counsel to American Airlines, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”) in connection withthe sale to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (the “Underwriter”) by the Trustee (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), of $193,440,000 aggregate face amount of American Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2016-3B (the “Pass Through Certificates”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 22, 2017 (Registration No. 333-216167-01) (as so filed and as amended, the “Registration Statement”), a base prospectus, dated February 22, 2017 (the “Base Prospectus”), included in the Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective, a preliminary prospectus supplement with respect to the Pass Through Certificates, dated September 20, 2017 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, each document that the Company has identified as an “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 and Rule 405 under the Act) and that is described on Exhibit A attached hereto (each, a “Specified IFWP”), a final prospectus supplement with respect to the Pass Through Certificates, dated September 20, 2017 (the “Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Class B Prospectus”), filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, and an underwriting agreement, dated as of September 20, 2017 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Underwriter and the Company. The Pass Through Certificates are being issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) with respect to the Pass Through Certificates. The reports filed by the Company with the Commission and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus are herein called the “Incorporated Documents.” References herein to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus exclude the Incorporated Documents. This letter is being delivered to you in connection with the Underwriting Agreement.

We have examined such public records and certificates and have made such other investigations as we have deemed necessary in connection with the opinions set forth below. We have not examined or reviewed, and express no opinion as to, any of the documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Company or any other party to the transaction, or related documents.

Parties Listed on the Attached Schedule A

October 4, 2017

Page 2

In preparing this opinion letter, we have relied without any independent verification upon information contained in certificates obtained from governmental authorities and factual information we have obtained from such other sources as we have deemed reasonable. We have assumed without investigation that there has been no relevant change or development between the dates as of which the information cited in the preceding sentence was given and the date of this opinion letter and that the information upon which we have relied is accurate and does not omit disclosures necessary to prevent such information from being misleading.

In our examination, we have assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation: (i) that United States citizens, as defined by 49 U.S.C. 40102(a)(15), own or control at least seventy-five percent of the voting interest of the Company, that the president and at least two-thirds of the board of directors and other managing officers of the Company are citizens of the United States, and that the Company is under the actual control of citizens of the United States; (ii) that the Company has in effect insurance coverage as required under 14 C.F.R. 205; and (iii) that the Company has not undergone any substantial changes in ownership, management or operations without complying with the notification requirements of the Department of Transportation and the FAA.

We have made such examination of federal laws of the United States as we deemed relevant for purposes of this opinion letter, but have made no review of, and express no opinion concerning, the laws of any other state or jurisdiction other than the United States. We have assumed that all relevant federal statutes, rules and regulations are valid and constitutional.

The terms “known to us” and “knowledge” and “aware”, whenever such terms are used in this opinion letter with respect to our firm, mean the actual knowledge on the date hereof by the Pillsbury ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP lawyers who have had significant involvement with the representation of the Company.

Subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exclusions and other limitations identified in this opinion letter, we are of the opinion that:

The Company is a citizen of the United States, as that term is defined by 49 U.S.C. 40102(a)(15).

The Company possesses a valid air carrier operating certificate issued by the FAA pursuant to Chapter ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code, permitting the Company to operate as an “air carrier”, as that term is defined by 49 U.S.C. 40102(a)(2), utilizing aircraft capable of carrying ten (10) or more persons or six thousand (6,000) pounds or more of cargo or mail.

The statements incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus from the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption “Business – Domestic and Global Regulatory Landscape”, insofar as such statements constitute summaries of legal or regulatory matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein, fairly summarize in all material respects the matters referred to therein.

Parties Listed on the Attached Schedule A

October 4, 2017

Page 3

The opinion in paragraph two with respect to the validity of the air carrier operating certificate (the “Certificate”) of the Company is based solely on our review of the Certificate, which is available publicly from the FAA. We have no actual knowledge of any threatened or pending investigation or proceeding that might result in revocation of the Certificate.

This opinion letter speaks as of the time of its delivery on the date it bears. We do not assume any obligation to provide you with any subsequent opinion or advice by reason of any fact about which we did not have actual knowledge at that time, by reason of any change subsequent to that time in any law covered by any of our opinions, or for any other reason. This opinion letter is limited to the matters expressly stated herein and no opinion or other statement may be inferred or implied beyond the matters expressly stated herein. This opinion letter may be relied upon by you only in connection with the transaction identified in this opinion letter, and may not be relied upon, quoted or referred to or used by you or any other person for any other purpose whatsoever, except with our prior written consent in each instance, except that this opinion letter may be disclosed (i) to bank examiners and other governmental regulatory authorities should they so request in connection with their normal examinations, and to their independent auditors and attorneys, (ii) pursuant to orders or legal process of any court or governmental agency, and (iii) to attorneys as needed in connection with any legal action arising out of transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement to which a person permitted to rely on this letter is a party.

Re:

American Airlines, Inc. – UCC-3 Financing Statement Amendment

regarding One Airbus Model A321-231 Aircraft

Bearing Manufacturer’s Serial Number 7515

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Delaware counsel for American Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the matters set forth herein. At your request, this opinion is being furnished to you.

For purposes of giving the opinions hereinafter set forth, our examination of documents has been limited to the examination of originals or copies of the documents listed on Schedule B attached hereto.

For purposes of this opinion, we have not reviewed any documents other than the documents referenced above. In particular, we have not reviewed any document (other than the documents referenced above) that is referred to in or incorporated by reference in any document reviewed by us. We have assumed that there exists no provision in any document that we have not reviewed that is inconsistent with the opinions stated herein. We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own but rather have relied solely upon the foregoing documents, the statements and information set forth therein and the additional matters recited or assumed herein, all of which we have assumed to be true, complete and accurate in all material respects.

With respect to all documents examined by us, we have assumed that (i) all signatures on documents examined by us are genuine, (ii) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, and (iii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform with the originals of those documents.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed (i) that each of the parties to the documents examined by us has been duly organized, formed or created, as the case may be, and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction governing its organization, formation or creation, (ii) the legal capacity of natural persons who are signatories to the documents examined by us, (iii) that each of the parties to the documents examined by us has the power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, such documents, (iv) that each of the parties to the documents examined by us has duly authorized, executed and delivered such documents, and (v) that each of the documents examined by us constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the parties thereto, and is enforceable against the parties thereto, in accordance with its terms.

To Each of the Persons Listed

on Schedule A Attached Hereto

October 4, 2017

Page 2

This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding the insurance, securities and blue sky laws of the State of Delaware), and we have not considered and express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction, including federal laws (including federal bankruptcy law) and rules and regulations relating thereto. Our opinions are rendered only with respect to Delaware laws and rules, regulations and orders thereunder that are currently in effect.

Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such questions of law and statutes of the State of Delaware as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Financing Statement Amendment is in an appropriate form for filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (Uniform Commercial Code Section) (the “Division”).

2. To the extent that Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware on the date hereof (the “Delaware UCC”) is applicable (without regard to conflict of laws principles), upon the filing of the Financing Statement Amendment with the Division, the Loan Trustee will continue to have a perfected security interest in the Company’s rights in that portion of the Collateral (as defined in the Indenture) described in the Financing Statement Amendment in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Division (the “Filing Collateral”) and the proceeds thereof (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC).

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following additional assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions:

A. We have assumed that (i) the Company has sufficient rights in the Collateral and has received sufficient value and consideration in connection with the security interest granted under such Indenture for the security interest of the Loan Trustee to attach, and (ii) that the Original Financing Statement is in full force and effect and has not been amended or terminated. We express no opinion as to the nature or extent of the Company’s rights in, or title to, any portion of the Collateral.

B. We note that the Indenture is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Accordingly, we have assumed that the security interests in the collateral identified in the Indenture and the proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC) thereof have been duly created and have attached (as to which we express no opinion).

C. The opinions set forth above are limited to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, and therefore such opinions do not address (i) laws of jurisdictions other than the State of

To Each of the Persons Listed

on Schedule A Attached Hereto

October 4, 2017

Page 3

Delaware, and of the State of Delaware except for Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, (ii) collateral of a type not subject to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, or (iii) Sections 9-301 through 9-307 of the Delaware UCC, which law governs perfection of the security interests granted in the collateral covered by this opinion.

D. We note that further filings under the Delaware UCC may be necessary to preserve and maintain (to the extent established and perfected by the filing of the Financing Statement as described herein) the security interests of the Loan Trustee in the Filing Collateral, including, without limitation, the following:

(i) appropriate continuation filings to be made within the period of six months prior to the expiration of five year anniversary dates from the date of the original filing of the Financing Statement;

(ii) filings required with respect to proceeds of collateral under Section 9-315(d) of the Delaware UCC;

(iii) filings required within four months of the change of name, identity or structure made by or with respect to the Company, to the extent set forth in Sections 9-507 and 9-508 of the Delaware UCC;

(iv) filings required within four months of a change by the Company of its location to another jurisdiction, to the extent set forth in Sections 9-301 and 9-316 of the Delaware UCC; and

(v) filings required within one year after the transfer of collateral to a Person that becomes a debtor and is located in another jurisdiction, to the extent set forth in Section 9-316 of the Delaware UCC.

E. Further, we note that the effectiveness of the Financing Statement may terminate and additional filings may be required if the secured party changes its name or the address of the secured party as shown on the Financing Statement ceases to be an address from which information concerning the secured party’s security interest can be obtained, unless a new appropriate financing statement or amendment indicating the new name or address of the secured party from which information concerning the secured party’s security interest can be obtained, is properly filed upon the effectiveness of such change in name or address.

F. We do not express any opinion as to the perfection or priority of any security interest in any portion of the Filing Collateral in which a security interest cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the Division. In addition, no opinion is expressed herein concerning (i) any collateral other than the Filing Collateral and the proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC) thereof, (ii) any portion of the Filing Collateral that constitutes a “commercial tort claim” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(13) of the Delaware UCC), (iii) any consumer transaction, or (iv) any security interest in goods covered by a certificate of title statute. Further, we do not express any opinion as to the perfection or

To Each of the Persons Listed

Page 4

priority of any security interest in proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC) of the Filing Collateral, except to the extent that such proceeds consist of cash proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(9) of the Delaware UCC) that are identifiable cash proceeds (as contemplated by Section 9-315(b) and (d) of the Delaware UCC), subject, however, to the limitations of Section 9-315 of the Delaware UCC.

G. We do not express any opinion as to the priority of any security interest.

H. We call to your attention that under the Delaware UCC, actions taken by a secured party (e.g., releasing or assigning the security interest, delivering possession of the collateral to the debtor or another person and voluntarily subordinating a security interest) may affect the validity, perfection or priority of a security interest.

I. The opinions expressed in paragraph 2 above are subject to the effect of (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, reorganization, liquidation, fraudulent conveyance and transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law).

We understand that you will rely as to matters of Delaware law upon this opinion in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Indenture. In addition, your successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any trustee in connection with a securitization) and any rating agency may rely as to matters of Delaware law upon this opinion in connection with the matters set forth herein, subject to the understanding that the opinions rendered herein are given on the date hereof and such opinions are rendered only with respect to facts existing on the date hereof and laws, rules and regulations currently in effect. In connection with the foregoing, we hereby consent to your and your successors’ and assigns’ (including, without limitation, any trustee in connection with a securitization) and any such rating agency’s relying as to matters of Delaware law upon this opinion. Except as stated above, without our prior written consent, this opinion may not be furnished or quoted to, or relied upon by, any other person or entity for any purpose.

Based upon the foregoing and upon an examination of such questions of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions and qualifications set forth below, we advise you that, in our opinion:

1. WTC is a trust company duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under, in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, the Transaction Documents and the Certificates. WTC is a “citizen of the United States” as defined in 49 U.S.C. § 40102.

2. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by WTC in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of WTC in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, enforceable against WTC in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms. The Pass Through Trust Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of American, enforceable against American in accordance with its terms.

3. WTC, solely in its capacity as Trustee, has duly authorized, issued, executed and delivered the Certificates to the holders thereof pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Pass Through Trust Agreement; the Certificates are duly authorized, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Class B Trust (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), enforceable against the Class B Trust in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Pass Through Trust Agreement and are entitled to the benefits of the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

4. No authorization, consent or approval of, notice to or filing with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any governmental authority or agency of the State of Delaware or the United States governing the trust powers of WTC is required for the execution, delivery or performance by WTC in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, of the Transaction Documents or the Certificates.

5. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by WTC in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, of the Transaction Documents, the Funded Aircraft Equipment Notes, or the Certificates, nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof, conflicts with the charter or bylaws of WTC or results in a breach or violation of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any law, governmental rule or regulation of the State of Delaware or the United States governing the trust powers of WTC or, to our knowledge, any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority against WTC or by which it or any of its properties is bound or, to our knowledge, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other agreement or instrument to which WTC is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, or constitutes a default thereunder.

6. Assuming that the Class B Trust will not be taxable as corporations, but, rather, will be classified as grantor trusts under subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or as a partnership under Subchapter K of the Code, (i) the Class B Trust will not be subject to any tax (including, without limitation, net or gross income, tangible or intangible property, net worth, capital, franchise or doing business tax), fee or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Delaware or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) the Certificateholders (as defined in the Basic Agreement) that are not residents of or otherwise subject to tax in Delaware will not be subject to any tax (including, without limitation, net or gross income, tangible or intangible property, net worth, capital, franchise or doing business tax), fee or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Delaware or any political subdivision thereof as a result of purchasing, holding (including receiving payments with respect to) or selling a Certificate.

7. The statements set forth under the caption “Certain Delaware Taxes” in the Prospectus, insofar as such statements purport to constitute summaries of Delaware tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, are accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects.

8. No taxes, fees or other charges (other than taxes payable by WTC on or measured by any compensation received by WTC for its services as Trustee) are required to be paid by the Trustee or the Class B Trust created by the Pass Through Trust Agreement under the laws of the State of Delaware, or any political subdivision thereof, in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents to which the Trustee is party and the Funded Aircraft Equipment Notes, which taxes, fees or other charges would not be required to be paid if WTC were not a Delaware trust company and did not perform its obligations as Trustee under the Pass Through Trust Agreement in the State of Delaware.

9. To our knowledge, there are no proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting WTC in any court or before any governmental authority, agency, arbitration board or tribunal which, if adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate, would materially and adversely affect the Class B Trust or question the right, power and authority of WTC in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, to enter into or perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or which would call into question or challenge the validity of any of the Transaction Documents or the enforceability thereof.

10. The Series B Equipment Notes (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) to be delivered to and registered in the name of the Subordination Agent pursuant to the Participation Agreements, the Indentures (each as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement),

To Each of the Parties Listed

on Schedule A Attached Hereto

Page 5

the Note Purchase Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement will be held by the Subordination Agent in trust as trustee for the Class B Trustee under the Pass Through Trust Agreement on behalf of the Certificateholders of the Class B Trust.

11. Each of the Funded Aircraft Equipment Notes has been duly and validly authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the applicable Indenture and will be held by the Subordination Agent in trust as trustee for the Trustee under the Pass Through Trust Agreement on behalf of the Certificateholders of the Class B Trust.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions, exceptions and qualifications:

A. We are admitted to practice law in the State of Delaware and do not hold ourselves out as being experts on the law of any other jurisdiction. The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of Delaware, the federal laws of the United States of America governing the trust powers of WTC, except that we express no opinion with respect to (i) federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (ii) Part A of Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the United States Code, as amended (except with respect to the opinion set forth in paragraph 1 above concerning the citizenship of WTC), (iii) the Federal Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (iv) state securities or blue sky laws, or (v) laws, rules and regulations applicable to the particular nature of the equipment acquired by American. Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity and enforceability of the Transaction Documents expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York, we have assumed that each such document is legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms under such laws (as to which we express no opinion).

B. The foregoing opinions regarding enforceability are subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law).

C. We have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the parties thereto (other than WTC in its individual capacity, or as Trustee) of the Transaction Documents, and that each of such parties has the full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform each such document.

D. We have assumed that all signatures (other than those of WTC in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be) on documents examined by us are

To Each of the Parties Listed

October 4, 2017

Page 6

genuine, that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, and that all documents submitted to us as copies or specimens conform with the originals, which facts we have not independently verified.

E. The opinions expressed in paragraph 8 above regarding any pending litigation or court order with respect to the Trusts are limited solely to our search as of the date hereof of public records of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County and the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

F. We have not participated in the preparation of any offering materials with respect to the Certificates and assume no responsibility for their contents.

G. In basing the opinions set forth herein on “our knowledge,” the words “our knowledge” signify that no information has come to the attention of the attorneys in the firm who are directly involved in the representation of WTC in this transaction that would give us actual knowledge that any such opinions are not accurate. Except as otherwise stated herein, we have undertaken no independent investigation or verification of such matters.

This opinion may be relied upon by you in connection with the matters set forth herein. We also consent to the reliance upon this opinion as to matters of Delaware law by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP and Milbank, Tweed, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP as if it were addressed to them, in rendering their opinions to you of even date herewith. Except as stated above, without our prior written consent, this opinion may not be furnished or quoted to, or relied upon by, any other person or entity for any purpose.

Very truly yours,

FORM OF OPINION OF

SPECIAL FAA COUNSEL

[Attached.]

First Amendment to Participation Agreement

(American Airlines 2016-3B Aircraft EETC)

[Reg. No.]

October 4, 2017

To the Parties Named on

Schedule 1 attached hereto

RE:	One (1) model (shown on the IR as model ) aircraft bearing manufacturer’s serial number and U.S. Registration No. N (the “Airframe”) and two (2) model (shown on the IR as model ) aircraft engines bearing manufacturer’s serial numbers and (the “Engines”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Acting as special legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by the instruments described below, this opinion is furnished to you with respect to (i) the registration of interests with the International Registry (the “IR”) created pursuant to, and according to the provisions of, the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment (the “Convention”), the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment (the “Protocol”), both signed in Cape Town, South Africa on November 16, 2001, together with the Regulations for the International Registry (the “Regulations”), the International Registry Procedures (the “Procedures”), and all other rules, amendments, supplements, and revisions thereto (collectively, the “CTT”), all as in effect on this date in the United States of America, as a Contracting State, and (ii) the recordation of instruments and the registration of airframes with the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) under the requirements of Title 49 of the United States Code (the “Transportation Code”).

Terms capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given in the CTT and on Schedule 2 attached hereto.

On 2017, at .M., C.D.T., we examined and filed with the FAA the First Amendment to Indenture and Security Agreement (N ) dated as of 2017 (the “Security Agreement Amendment”) between American Airlines, Inc. (the “Company”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as loan trustee (the “Loan Trustee”), amending the Security Agreement covering the Airframe and the Engines.

Based upon our examination of the foregoing instrument and such records of the FAA and the IR as we deemed necessary to render this opinion, it is our opinion that:

the Airframe and the Engines constitute Aircraft Objects based upon the Cape Town Eligible Aircraft list and the applicable Type Certificate Data Sheets compiled by the FAA;

the Security Agreement Amendment is in due form for recordation by, and has been duly filed for recordation with, the FAA pursuant to and in accordance with the Transportation Code;

the Airframe is duly registered in the name of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Transportation Code;

the owner of the Airframe for registration purposes at the FAA is the Company and the Airframe and the Engines are free and clear of liens and encumbrances of record at the FAA except as created by the Security Agreement, as amended by the Security Agreement Amendment;

the Security Agreement, as amended by the Security Agreement Amendment, creates a duly perfected first priority security interest, in favor of the Loan Trustee, pursuant to the Transportation Code, in the Airframe and the Engines, it being understood that no opinion is rendered herein as to the validity, priority or enforceability of such security interest under applicable local or foreign law, or as to recognition of the perfection of the security interest as against third parties in any legal proceeding outside the United States;

based upon the Priority Search Certificates obtained from the IR, copies of which are attached hereto as Schedule 3 and incorporated herein by reference:

(a)

the Airframe and the Engines are subject only to the CTT Security Interest;

(b)

the CTT Security Interest has been duly registered on the IR and constitutes a first priority International Interest in the Airframe and the Engines;

the CTT Security Interest is entitled to the priorities, protections and benefits of the CTT, subject to the statements on Exhibit A attached hereto;

no further registration on the IR of the CTT Security Interest is required under the CTT in order to maintain the effectiveness and priority thereof and no other registration of the Airframe or filings other than filings with the FAA (which have been duly effected) are necessary in order to:

(a)

maintain the registration of the Airframe in the name of the Company, subject to compliance with the provisions of Title 14, Section 47.40 of the Code of Federal Regulations relating to re-registration and renewal of the registration of the Airframe; and

(b)

maintain the lien and priority of the Security Agreement, as amended by the Security Agreement Amendment, with respect to the Airframe and the Engines; and

no authorization, approval, consent, license or order of, or registration with, or the giving of notice to, the FAA is required for the valid authorization, delivery and performance of the Security Agreement Amendment, except for such filings as are referred to above and the prior filing of the Security Agreement with the FAA.

In the event the CTT Security Interest is not subject to the CTT, then the interests created thereby are governed by the Transportation Code or applicable law.

This opinion is subject to certain comments, limitations and assumptions as listed in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Very truly yours,

SCHEDULE 3

[the Priority Search Certificates attached hereto]

EXHIBIT A

Assumptions and Limitations

In rendering the foregoing opinion we have assumed that:

(i)

the records maintained by the FAA are accurate in all respects;

(ii)

the Priority Search Certificates are accurate in all respects, contain all the registered information and data on the IR in connection with the Airframe and the Engines to which they relate, and have not been altered since the date of such Priority Search Certificates;

(iii)

there have been no registrations made on the IR against the Airframe and the Engines using descriptions which vary from the IR descriptions shown above for the Airframe and the Engines and, for the purposes of this opinion, only the models and serial numbers contained in the IR descriptions of the Airframe and the Engines shown above were utilized for the IR searches;

(iv)

the IR descriptions of the Airframe and the Engines are as noted above and are accurate and complete descriptions with respect to the registrations on the IR;

(v)

at the time the Security Agreement was concluded, the Debtor was situated, pursuant to the CTT, in the United States;

(vi)

the necessary parties under the Security Agreement have given the consents in writing to the registration with the IR of the interests in the Airframe and the Engines created thereby;

(vii)

the CTT Security Interest is effective under applicable local law to constitute an interest, a sale, an assignment or a discharge which is subject to the CTT and registration on the IR;

(viii)

all of the registrations indicated on the Priority Search Certificates are fully and properly constituted and validly created under the CTT;

(ix)

all documents identified in this opinion, all documents in the records maintained by the FAA for the Airframe and the Engines, as well as any registrations on the IR pertaining to the Airframe and the Engines, are valid, enforceable and sufficient under the relevant applicable law or the CTT to create, effect or terminate the rights and interests they purport to create, effect or terminate;

(x)

in rendering this opinion, we have assumed that:

(a)

the Company qualifies as a “citizen of the United States” as defined in the Transportation Code;

(b)

the instruments described above are valid and enforceable under applicable local law; and

(c)

there are no documents with respect to the Airframe or the Engines which have been filed for recordation with the FAA under the FAA’s recording system but which have not yet been listed in the available records of such system as having been so filed;

(xi)

there has been no subordination or variation of any priority that would be acquired pursuant to the terms of the CTT, in connection with the registrations on the IR evidenced by the Priority Search Certificates other than pursuant to any subordination indicated on the Priority Search Certificates;

(xii)

the Airframe is not registered under the civil aircraft registry of any other country;

(xiii)

the Cape Town Eligible Aircraft list and the applicable Type Certificate Data Sheets compiled by the FAA, insofar as they relate to the Airframe and the Engines, are accurate in all respects;

(xiv)

the Airframe and the Engines have been accurately described by manufacturer’s name, model and serial number by the parties in the instruments described above; and

(xv)

the United States Contracting State search certificate description of declarations, withdrawals of declarations and categories of non-consensual rights or interests, as communicated to the Registrar by UNIDROIT as the Depositary as having been declared by the United States, and the date on which each such declaration or withdrawal of declaration is recorded, are accurate in all respects.

In addition, our opinion is subject to the following limitations:

(i)

a search on the IR pursuant to the CTT requires that the searching party enter the exact manufacturer, model or serial number of an airframe or engine being searched using the appropriate drop down boxes, where available, and if a registration has been made on the IR against the Airframe or the Engines which describes the Airframe or the Engines differently (i.e. any space,

comma, dash, added number or character, missing number or character, or any other discrepancy whatsoever in the description of the manufacturer, model or serial number) the Priority Search Certificates will produce an inaccurate search result; accordingly, there may be registrations on the IR against the Airframe and the Engines which are not reflected on the Priority Search Certificates and which may have priority over subsequent registrations on the IR or filings with the FAA;

(ii)

the opinion relating to the registration of the Airframe with the FAA is issued only as to its current eligibility for registration and not with respect to events which may occur in the future which may affect the continued eligibility for registration;

(iii)

as to matters of United States Citizenship as defined in the Transportation Code, the undersigned has relied upon representations made in the Aircraft Registration Application already on file with the FAA;

(iv)

because the FAA does not maintain registration records for engines for nationality purposes, we cannot independently verify the owner, make, model, or serial numbers of the Engines;

(v)

in rendering this opinion, we are subject to the accuracy of the FAA, its employees and agents in the filing, indexing, cross-referencing, imaging and recording of instruments filed with the FAA;

(vi)

no opinion is expressed herein as to laws other than the CTT and the Transportation Code;

(vii)

this opinion as to the status of the records of the FAA as to the Airframe covers only that period of time during which the Airframe has been subject to United States Registration;

(viii)

the Security Agreement Amendment was filed with the FAA with certain information intentionally omitted from the FAA filing counterpart as containing confidential or proprietary information and we have relied upon the opinion of ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Deputy Chief Counsel of the FAA issued September 16, 1994 (Federal Register/Volume 59, Number 182/September 21, 1994) and the current practices of the FAA with respect to the eligibility of the Security Agreement Amendment for recordation with the confidential omissions; and

(ix)

since our examination was limited to records maintained by the FAA and the IR, our opinion:

(a)

in respect of rights derived from FAA filings, does not cover liens, claims or encumbrances of which the parties have actual notice as contemplated by 49 U.S.C. 44108(a);

(b)

in respect of rights derived from FAA filings or registrations with the IR, does not cover liens, claims or encumbrances which are perfected without the filing of notice thereof with the FAA or the IR, including without limitation, federal tax liens, liens arising under Section 1368(a) of Title 29 of the United States Code, liens arising under 49 U.S.C. ‘46304 and certain artisan’s liens;
