PRICE ADJUSTMENT DUE TO
ECONOMIC FLUCTUATIONS
AIRFRAME PRICE ADJUSTMENT
(1992 Base Price)
                            
(Relating to Block A Aircraft)

1.     Formula.

       The Airframe Price Adjustment will be determined at
the time of Aircraft delivery in accordance with the
following formula:

       Pa = (P)(L + M - 1)

       Where:

       Pa = Airframe Price Adjustment.

       L =  .65 x  ECI 
                  116.2

       M =  .35 x  ICI 
                  115.9

       P =  Aircraft Basic Price (as set forth in
            Article 3.2 of this Agreement) less the base
            price of Engines (as defined in this Exhibit D)
            in the amount of [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED
            AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
            EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
            CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].

     ECI =  A value using the "Employment Cost Index for
            workers in aerospace manufacturing" (aircraft
            manufacturing, standard industrial
            classification code 3721, compensation, base
            month and year June 1989 = 100), as released by
            the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department
            of Labor on a quarterly basis for the months of
            March, June, September and December, calculated
            as follows: A three-month arithmetic average
            value (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the
            nearest tenth) will be determined using the
            months set forth in the table below for the
            applicable Aircraft, with the released
            Employment Cost Index value described above for
            the month of March also being used for the
            months of January and February; the value for
            June also used for April and May; the value for
            September also used for July and August; and the
            value for December also used for October and
            November.

     ICI =  The three-month arithmetic average of the
            released monthly values for the Industrial
            Commodities Index as set forth in the "Producer
            Prices and Price Index" (Base Year 1982 = 100)
            as released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
            U.S. Department of Labor values (expressed as a
            decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) for
            the months set forth in the table below for the
            applicable Aircraft.

       In determining the value of L, the ratio of ECI
divided by 116.2 will be expressed as a decimal rounded to
the nearest ten-thousandth and then multiplied by .65 with
the resulting value also expressed as a decimal and rounded
to the nearest ten-thousandth.

       In determining the value of M, the ratio of ICI
divided by 115.9 will be expressed as a decimal rounded to
the nearest ten-thousandth and then multiplied by .35 with
the resulting value also expressed as a decimal and rounded
to the nearest ten-thousandth.

       [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
       WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT
       TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

The following definitions of B and D will apply:

       [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
       WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT
       TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]


2.     If at the time of delivery of an Aircraft Boeing is
unable to determine the Airframe Price Adjustment because
the applicable values to be used to determine the ECI and
ICI have not been released by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, then:

       2.1    The Airframe Price Adjustment, to be used at
the time of delivery of each of the Aircraft, will be
determined by utilizing the escalation provisions set forth
above.  The values released by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and available to Boeing 30 days prior to
scheduled month of Aircraft delivery will be used to
determine the ECI and ICI values for the applicable months 
(including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics) to calculate the Airframe Price Adjustment.  If
no values have been released for an applicable month, the
provisions set forth in Paragraph 2.2 below will apply.  If
prior to delivery of an Aircraft the U.S. Department of
Labor changes the base year for determination of the ECI or
ICI values as defined above, such rebased values will be
incorporated in the Airframe Price Adjustment calculation. 
The payment by Buyer to Boeing of the amount of the Purchase
Price for such Aircraft, as determined at the time of
Aircraft delivery, will be deemed to be the payment for such
Aircraft required at the delivery thereof.

       2.2    If prior to delivery of an Aircraft the U.S.
Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology
used for the determination of the values to be used to
determine the ECI and ICI values (in contrast to benchmark
adjustments or other corrections of previously released
values), or for any reason has not released values needed to
determine the applicable Aircraft Airframe Price Adjustment,
the parties will, prior to delivery of any such Aircraft,
select a substitute for such values from data published by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics or other similar data
reported by non-governmental United States organizations,
such substitute to lead in application to the same
adjustment result, insofar as possible, as would have been
achieved by continuing the use of the original values as
they may have fluctuated during the applicable time period. 
Appropriate revision of the formula will be made as required
to reflect any substitute values.  However, if within 24
months from delivery of the Aircraft the Bureau of Labor
Statistics should resume releasing values for the months
needed to determine the Airframe Price Adjustment, such
values will be used to determine any increase or decrease in
the Airframe Price Adjustment for the Aircraft from that
determined at the time of delivery of such Aircraft.

       2.3    In the event escalation provisions are made
non-enforceable or otherwise rendered null and void by any
agency of the United States Government, the parties agree,
to the extent they may lawfully do so, to equitably adjust
the Purchase Price of any affected Aircraft to reflect an
allowance for increases or decreases in labor compensation
and material costs occurring since February, 1992, which is
consistent with the applicable provisions of paragraph 1 of
this Exhibit D.

       2.4    If required, Boeing will submit either a
supplemental invoice or refund the amounts due Buyer as
appropriate to reflect any increase or decrease in the
Airframe Price Adjustment for the Aircraft from that
determined at the time of delivery of such Aircraft.  Any
payments due Boeing or Buyer will be made with reasonable
promptness.

3.     For the calculations herein, the values released by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics and available to Boeing 30
days prior to scheduled month of Aircraft delivery will be
used to determine the ECI and ICI values for the applicable
months (including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics) to calculate the Airframe Price
Adjustment.

Note:  Any rounding of a number, as required under this
       Exhibit D with respect to escalation of the airframe
       price, will be accomplished as follows:  if the first
       digit of the portion to be dropped from the number to
       be rounded is five or greater, the preceding digit
       will be raised to the next higher number.
