I think about half the KC-135 fleet now has a basket-pod under each wingtip, so they can do boom from the center, and probe-and-drogue under each wing, every flight.

Good mod...the KC-10 can do both, but not simultaneously (they are right next to each other).

Supposedly, the only reason the whole fleet was not modified: they ran out of money.

Seriously?
