Malaysia to Buy Eight F/A-18s: McDonnell Douglas Corp., the plane’s manufacturer, said Malaysia will become the first Southeast Asian nation to buy the fighter jet. The price was not disclosed, but it probably totals more than $208 million. Each F/A-18 costs $26 million, and Malaysia also bought support equipment, spare parts and crew-training services with the planes. The jets will be delivered in 1996.
