Yes, a combi is something else. Very few have been operated in the U.S. as far as I know. There are a couple of civilian registered B-734 combis currently used to carry nukes and commandos for the Department of Energy. Alaska Airlines operated B-734 combis on its Milk Run route ANC-SEA until 2017.
FedEx and UPS each had 10 A380 freighters on order and millions were spent on airport facility upgrades at MEM and SDF before the orders were cancelled.
