ACtually in the 80's there was a concept for using converted 747s as long range cruise missile carrying bombers. They would have had multiple rotary racks filled with cruise missiles, interesting concept but was eventually rejected. I should have a picture somewhere of the concept model.

I wonder what kind of 747 is Alice 12 ?

From the pictures you see what appears to be a classic series flight deck but it has the extended upper deck of the 300 and winglets of the -400. And it has no windows. Doesn't really amount to anything. Perhaps it is a plane for smuggling goods like Yamato Valks.

@knight26

The 747 cruise missile carrier you referring to carries ALCM and launch them from behind ?

Yeah, that's what gave me the idea, but that wouldn't make a very interesting manga series. So it's gotta be some kinda air combat thing! :lol:
