I am not a fan of idea of taking an airliner design and making it a cargo plane. For the vast majority of the air freight business, airliner designs work very well indeed. Very few users need the short-field or oversized cargo capacity of a BC-17X. A 747-400 Freighter carries more cargo, cheaper, than a military-derived cargo plane; Boeing only offers the BC-17X for a very specific (small) niche market. -- Tom Schoene Replace "invalid" with "net" to e-mail "If brave men and women never died, there would be nothing special about bravery." -- Andy Rooney (attributed)
