		That year, AASI acquired the assets of theMooney AircraftCompany and changed its name to the Mooney Aerospace Group (MASG).
		Shortly thereafter, MASG suspended development of the Jetcruzer to focus on Mooney's more traditional line of light aircraft.The Jetcruzer assets were put up for auction in November 2003 andsold the following February to Innova Aircraft.
