Cool picture of that YC-14.
The tail on that thing looks identical to the tail of a C-17 in my opinion.

The C.17 is entirely different although the fuselage cross-section and DC.10 like cockpit windows are the same.
The C.17 comes up with different
-engines, which have nothing to see with those of the YC.15
-tail unit & stabilizers
-wings.

^^^The YC14 was an entirely new developpment. It competed with the four engined MC Donnell-Douglas YC15 for the tactical airlifter back in 1974/75. The program was later cancelled. Unless it feels itself under financial and time pressures, Boeing would be smart to
- analyze the teachings left by both the YC14 and 15
- use the data to come up with something new, preferably based on the YC14 which included more features geared for tactical use than the YC15.

^^Agreed. Also, was the YC-14 based on any already flying Boeing plane? The design except for the engines of course appears very familiar.

Sweet looking aircraft, would be cool to see a Boeing variant flying around the USA.

that would be awesome!
for a moment I thought that Boeing was gunna make a spin off of the AN-225

Heck, why not? Engines above the wings surely would have a major advantage on rural/unpaved airfields, where they would not be as prone to engine ingestions of FOD as underwing engines.
