Do you think Boeing might consider chartering those planes for special payloads? I'd think it would be really useful for transporting satellites, and other large spacecraft to launch sites.
Good idea, but not sure that Boeing can charter planes, can they? Remember how Bill Boeing had to get out of the air transport business?
I wonder who/what transports satellites and other large spacecraft now?
