6.	Impairment Charges and Other

In the first quarter of 2015, we entered into a plan to sell our two aircraft, and as a result, we recorded impairment and other charges of $9.8 million, representing the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the assets as well as a provision for potential settlement of a Texas sales and use tax assessment. In July 2015, we received proceeds, net of selling costs, of $12.2 million for both aircraft and recorded an additional $1.3 million impairment charge in the second quarter of 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we reduced our use tax accrual by $0.6 million due to a pending $0.2 million settlement of the Texas sales and use tax assessment. These net charges of $10.5 million are included in impairment charges and other on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. In the first quarter of 2016, we settled the Texas sales and use tax assessment.
