                                Explanatory Note

This amendment to the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December
12, 2008 under Item 4.01 ("Changes in Registered Certifying Accountant") is
being filed in response to a comment issued by the staff of the SEC that the
statement reporting that the engagement of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP had been
terminated was inappropriate. Consequently, the disclosure of the content of the
disclosure under Item 4.01 has been restated to indicate that McGladrey &
Pullen, LLP was dismissed as the Registrant's independent registered public
accounting firm.



Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

(a) Dismissal of Principal Accountant

1. On December 10, 2008, Air Industries Group, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed
McGladrey & Pullen, LLP ("McGladrey") as its independent registered public
accounting firm.

2. McGladrey was appointed as the Registrant's independent registered public
accounting firm on December 3, 2007, when Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP ("GGK")
resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm after
notifying the Company that the partners of GGK who were primarily responsible
for overseeing the audit by GGK of the Company's financial statements had become
partners of McGladrey pursuant to a limited asset purchase agreement.

The resignation of GGK and the appointment of McGladrey as the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm was reported in the Company's
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") on December 3, 2007 (the "2007 Form 8-K"). To the extent this Item 4.01
(a) calls for disclosure of matters with respect to the Company's fiscal year
ended December 31, 2006, reference is made to the 2007 Form 8-K.

The audit report of McGladrey on the consolidated financial statements of the
Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

3. The decision to dismiss McGladrey was jointly approved by the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of the Company.

4. (a) In connection with the audit of the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and through the date of
this Current Report, there were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and
McGladrey on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if
not resolved to the satisfaction of McGladrey, would have caused McGladrey to
make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their report on the
Company's financial statements for such year or during the interim period
through the date of this Report and (ii) except as discussed in paragraph 4(b)
below, no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K.

      (b) On August 29, 2008, the Company received a comment letter from the SEC
(the "Comment Letter") regarding certain items in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 ("2007 Form 10-K"). One of the
items in the Comment Letter was a question relating to a beneficial conversion
feature in the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued in April and May 2007
which was not reflected in the Company's 2007 Form 10-K or its Reports on Form
10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007. On November
12, 2008, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K under item 4.02 which
discussed a restatement matter related to this beneficial conversion feature. In
addition, although the Company has filed a response to the Comment Letter, the
Company had not amended these previous filings as of the date of McGladrey's
dismissal and the effects, if any, of the comments in the Comment Letter on
previously issued filings was uncertain as of the date of McGladrey's dismissal.
The Company plans to file amendments to the 2007 Form 10-K and its interim
filings after further discussions with the staff of the SEC.



      As of December 31, 2007, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting was not effective due to the existence of a material weakness as more
fully described in paragraph (b) of Item 9A of the 2007 Form 10-K. In its 2007
Form 10-K the Company concluded that it had not yet sufficiently integrated and
upgraded the reporting systems at its operating subsidiaries and that it had
insufficient staffing in its accounting department and consequently, its
internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. This resulted in
McGladrey detecting errors in the Company's consolidated financial statements,
which have been corrected. To address this issue, among other things, the
Company plans to upgrade the financial controls and procedures at its operating
subsidiaries and to evaluate and enhance, where necessary, its financial
reporting personnel.

      During the quarters ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008, and September 30,
2008 the material weakness noted above continued to exist as indicated in Item
4T of the interim filings. In addition, at September 30, 2008, the Company noted
that there exist deficiencies at one of its subsidiaries in measuring labor
costs and properly allocating such costs between work-in-progress (inventory)
and current cost of sales.

      The Company has authorized McGladrey to respond fully to inquiries of its
new independent registered public accounting firm concerning the material
weakness.

5. The Company has provided McGladrey a copy of the disclosures in this Form
8-K/A and has requested that McGladrey furnish it with a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not McGladrey agrees with
the Company's statements in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of the letter dated
December 16, 2008 furnished by McGladrey in response to that request is filed as
Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K/A.

(b) Engagement of Principal Accountant

1. On December 9, 2008, the Company engaged Rotenberg Meril Solomon Bertiger &
Guttilla PC as its registered independent public accountants for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2008. The decision to engage Rotenberg Meril Solomon
Bertiger & Guttilla PC was jointly approved by the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors and the Board of Directors of the Company.

2. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and
2006 and through the date of this Current Report, the Company did not consult
with Rotenberg Meril Solomon Bertiger & Guttilla PC on (i) the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed,
or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company's financial
statements, and Rotenberg Meril Solomon Bertiger & Guttilla PC did not provide
either a written report or oral advice to the Company that Rotenberg Meril
Solomon Bertiger & Guttilla PC concluded was an important factor considered by
the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial
reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304
(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event
within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.



Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

      On December 8, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Dario
Peragallo President of its Air Industries Machining Corporation subsidiary
("AIM"), and Scott Glassman as the Company's Chief Accounting Officer.

      Mr. Peragallo has served as Executive Vice President of the Company since
November 30, 2005 and Executive Vice President of Manufacturing of AIM. Mr.
Peragallo also is a director of the Company.

      Mr. Glassman, who is 31, has served as Comptroller of the Company since
February 2007. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Glassman was employed by First
Data Corporation as Accounting Manager from June 2005 to January 2007, by Veeco
Instruments Inc. as an SEC Reporting Specialist from January 2004 to May 2005,
and by Grant Thornton LLP in a variety of positions from June 1999 to December
2003, most recently as an audit manager.
