They can’t even be delivered by bomber. It’s so big, you need a cargo plane. I believe they’ve been dropped from C-130’s so far. Could a C-17 do the job?

I’m sure a C17 could carry it, they are larger and have more lift capacity than the C130. However, as my ex paratrooper buddy said, they are he’ll to jump out of. The -17 has to have more airspeed durring a drop. So the question is, is the MOAB stable dropping out at that speed, and can the first chute take the strain.

How about a 747 Large Cargo Freighter, painted up nicely in United Airlines trim?

The idea of tangline with UAL should strike fear into Fatboi!
