Auch gleich den Ferrari? Das ist ja auch krank - gibts kein vernünftiges Mittelmaß mehr?

Boeing Co.'s St. Louis-made F/A-18 Super Hornet figured largely in a recent offer by the U.S. government to supply American-made fighter jets to Bulgaria.

One option would provide the former Soviet bloc country with 16 new Super Hornets in a deal that could approach $1 billion. To date, Super Hornets, a staple of the U.S. Navy, have not been sold to international customers. Bulgaria, which joined NATO in 2004, is among several countries interested in buying the plane.

Earlier this month, the Navy delivered pricing on three fighter jet options to the Bulgarians, a Boeing spokeswoman confirmed. One package would include 16 new Super Hornets, which cost about $54 million each, and 12 used F-5s made by Northrop Grumman Corp.

A second package would include 12 used Super Hornets and 12 used F-5s. The third option would include 12 used Super Hornets, Boeing spokeswoman Patricia Frost said.
