Remember that 747 full of cruise missiles? Hey….
I give you, the Cruise Missile Carrier Aircraft, or CMCA, a 1980s plan from Boeing to use a 747-200C as a cruise missile launcher. It could hold upto 72 ALCMs in 9 launchers with the missiles ejected out of the stern of the aircraft then lit off. If used right and kept secret (ala not even mentioned in SALT), could have been an uber scary first strike weapon.
And who knows, maybe they did.
