at $440 million each, it is$200 million less than an F35. I suggest militarizing Super Jumbos would make sense.

For low intensity wars like Afghanistan and the coming ISIS war, all you need is a bomb truck. Big transport with multiple rotary launchers with various ordinance. Haul big loads long loiter time. But not enough $$$$$$ for the contractors and not sexy for the military....
