I agree.

And old DC-10s, 737s, etc, could be spectacular drones.

Osama taught us that.

I’ve often thought a great way for Israel to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities would be to use commercial-airliners turned drones with tons upon tons of high explosives.

Suppress the air defense and move in.

At the time, yes. But since the 747-200 has such a HUGE radar cross section, the primary strategic mission for such a modified 747 would be to take out coastal military bases and radar installations along the Arctic Ocean coastline of the Soviet Union before the USAF bombers arrived.

They aren’t stealthy and don’t cost $1 billion each and require 2 decades of development time. Therefore, the Air Force has no interest in them.

Wouldn’t that plane be a super-high value target?
