determined at the time of each Block A, B, C, D and F
Aircraft (hereinafter 'Aircraft') delivery in accordance
with the following formula:

(b)    The following definitions shall apply herein:

In determining the value of AA, BB and CC, the ratio of L
divided by $13.09, M divided by 103.9 and E divided by 92.3
shall be expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest
ten-thousandth but the decimal value resulting from
multiplying such ratios by the respective constants (.60,

thousandth.

therefor provided by the engine manufacturer (collectively
in this Exhibit B called 'Engines') of[*CONFIDENTIAL
MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES

applicable to each Block E Aircraft ('Engine Price
Adjustment' herein) will be determined at the time of each
Block E Aircraft (hereinafter 'Aircraft') delivery in
accordance with the following formula:

       Pa  =  (P + F) (AA + BB + CC) - P

       (b)    The following definitions will apply herein:

       Pa  =  Engine Price Adjustment

              P   =  Aggregate Engine Base Price as set
              forth in paragraph (a) above.

       CC  =  .10 x    E
                     74.7

In determining the value of AA, BB and CC, the ratio of L
divided by $17.13, M divided by 120.2 and E divided by 74.7
will be expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest
ten-thousandth but the decimal value resulting from
multiplying such ratios by the respective constants (.60,
.30 and .10) will not be rounded.  The value of the sum of
AA + BB + CC will also be rounded to the nearest
ten-thousandth.

              Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of
              Labor, for the seventh month preceding the
              month of scheduled Aircraft delivery.

   $17.13  =  Published Labor Index (SIC 3724) for
              December, 1993.

               M  =  Material Index, which is the 'Producer

              the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S.
              Department of Labor, for the seventh month
              preceding the month of scheduled Aircraft
              delivery.

    120.2  =  Published Material Index (Code 10) for
              December, 1993.

              Price Index - Code 5, Fuels and Related
              Products and Power' (Base Year 1982 = 100)
              published for the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
              U.S. Department of Labor, for the seventh
              month preceding the month of scheduled
              Aircraft delivery.

     74.7  =  Published Fuel Index (Code 5) for
              December, 1993.

               F  =  0.005 (N)(P).  Where N = the calendar
              year of scheduled Engine delivery, minus 1994.
              For purposes of this calculation, Engine
              delivery is assumed to be 3 months prior to
              the month of scheduled Aircraft delivery.

The Engine Price Adjustment will not be made if it would
result in a decrease in the aggregate Engine base price.

(c)    The value of the Labor, Material and Fuel Index used
in determining the Engine Price Adjustment will be those
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department
of Labor as of a date 30 days prior to the scheduled
Aircraft delivery to Buyer.  Such Index values will be
considered final and no revision to the Engine Price
Adjustment will be made after Aircraft delivery for any
subsequent changes in published Index values.

(d)    If the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U. S. Department
of Labor, (i) substantially revises the methodology (in
contrast to benchmark adjustments or other corrections of
previously published data) or (ii) discontinues publication
of any of the data referred to above, Pratt & Whitney
Aircraft (P&WA) agrees to meet with Boeing and jointly
select a substitute for the revised or discontinued data,
such substitute data to lead in application to the same
adjustment result, insofar as possible, as would have been
achieved by continuing the use of the original data as it
may have fluctuated had it not been revised or discontinued.
Appropriate revision of the Engine Price Adjustment
provisions set forth above will be made to accomplish this
result for affected Engines.

In the event the Engine Price Adjustment escalation
provisions of this Agreement are made non-enforceable or
otherwise rendered null and void by any agency of the United
States Government, P&WA agrees to meet with Boeing and
jointly agree, to the extent that they may lawfully do so,
to adjust equitably the Purchase Price of any affected
Engine(s) to reflect an allowance for increases in labor,
material and fuel costs that occurred from December, 1993 to
the seventh month preceding the month of scheduled delivery
of the applicable Aircraft.

NOTES: Any rounding of a number, as required under this
Exhibit D with respect to escalation of the Engine 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.
