Sounds like a stupid idea.... commercial planes aren’t designed for the types stresses a military aircraft has built into them.

The 747 is an over-engineered beast.

We've used Boeing 707s for decades and have thrown them around pretty good.

I have thousands of hours on military 707s and am continually surprised at how much punishment they can take.
