On the Boeing website there is a chapter about commercializing the C-17 as the BC-17 especially for freight operators and special charters.

So it kinda does carry somin,
We could always have the B-52 and bomb people with cargo?:]
Just imagine these bombs as cargo,
Think off the possibiltys.
But seriously, lets think out side of the box as they say, thats how things become great!;);D

Interesting idea Tim, not sure how the customers would feel, and think of the nearby residents...what will they think....
EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
Well......smart bombs are pretty accurate nowadays right? so why not fit our cargo boxes and pellets with these technologies (IR tracking, GPS etc) and drop them like bombs? ;) but of course we would have to design new impact proof cargo boxes..... :P
And say how about unmanned aircrafts to carry light loads to the planes in need of repairs?
