I seem to remember a suggestion (by whom I don't know) that Fed-Ex be equipped with C-17s and manned by members of the National Guard. In the event of war the USAF would have the extra equipment available. I haven't heard any more about this so I don't the plan is moving forward. It would have helped to keep the production line going and the unit cost down. I have heard that with the C-17s recent impressive performance in Afganistan that the USAF may be acquiring more than planned.
