The agreed "not-to-exceed" price of $6.09 million (v. $5.5 million for the Mirage) per basic airplane, could, if 1,500 planes are in fact sold, add $4.3 billion to the credit side of the U.S. trade balance during the next ten years. The long-range total could be even higher; such extras as spare parts and technical additions could boost the per-plane price to $7.6 million...
