                  2.5.1     For the Model 747 and 757, Boeing will
work with Buyer to pre-implement a set of either long lead, or a
complete set of, hardware for a new simulator in the required
simulator tail number.  Buyer will submit to Boeing a 'coverage'
P/O which will not be executed until selection of a simulator
manufacturer to be used in this pre-implementation.  Boeing also
pre-implements generic simulator long-lead hardware that may be
allocated to Buyer with appropriate notification.  Kits are
allocated based on notification, lead times, training needs,
airplane delivery, etc.  Notification must occur in a timely
fashion or kits may not be available as required by Buyer.  Once
the kit is allocated, Buyer will then have first right of refusal
on it.  Only hardware requirement dates of greater than six
months on receipt of order will be accepted by Boeing for
hardware required in addition to allocated pre-implemented kit.

                  2.5.2     Required Boeing proprietary hardware may
be purchased at the then-current Boeing Spares Catalog prices.
In the event that Buyer elects to submit Purchase Orders to
Boeing for selected vendor hardware, such Purchase Orders shall
be processed by Boeing in the same manner as sustaining spares
for the Aircraft, in accordance with the applicable terms and
conditions of Spare Parts General Terms Agreement No. 22, dated
October 25, 1967 as amended and supplemented.

          ----------------------------

          3.1     Alternate Wiring Integration Unit.
                  ---------------------------------

If in the process of the development of the Model 747-500/600,
Boeing develops an alternate Wiring Integration Unit, which in
Boeing's opinion is offerable for incorporation in the Model 747-
400 aircraft, Boeing shall propose such units to Buyer for its
consideration.

          3.2     FANS/Free Flight Production and Retrofit -
                  ------------------------------------------
                  Model 747/777
                  -------------
On July 8, 1996, Boeing and Buyer conducted joint technical
meetings at Everett, Washington to develop:

          3.2.1.   jointly detailed definitions of the FANS
          functions listed on Attachment No. 5 hereto for the 747-
          422 and for the FANS functions listed on Attachment No.
          6 hereto for the 777-222;
          
          3.2.2    a joint determination that the functions can be
          adequately specified to support price, schedule and
          offerability;
          
          3.2.3    detailed specification changes required for all
          the FANS functions; and
          
          3.2.4    a joint determination of the respective cost
          effectiveness of all the listed FANS functions.
          
To the extent that any or all of the listed FANS functions are
determined to be cost effective, Boeing will use its best
reasonable efforts to issue, by no later than August 31, 1996,
Change Order Proposals to Purchase Agreement Nos. 1670 and 1663,
respectively, which will include Boeing's proposed price and
effectivity dates for such FANS functions.
