Why not just build a AC-71, would get there quick enough but might have a

Several problems with the C-17,
He said AC-71.
Like SR-71.
My bad- read it wrong. But then where would the "C" in AC-71
come from? (see, I've got an exuse for almost everything...)

Think of integral calculus where C is a constant that can be any number. In
this case it can be any letter combination?
In that case if they ever make a B-1C you can mess with people and say the C
stands for RD making it a B-1RD.
