Putting Hellfire's and Griffin's on C-130's. In addition to wing mounted I believe they are developing methods of ejecting AGM's or AAM's out of the cargo bay of Herc's and Osprey's, might take all the fun out of shooting at a nice fat cargo plane.

The US Air Force has already tested and proven that we can push pallets with long range cruise missiles out the back of cargo planes and have them fire off at distant targets.

Hell, the USAF in the early '70s launched a Minuteman ICBM from a C-5 Galaxy over the Pacific.
