I don’t see how you got that out of my post. However, they already have KC-10’s a derivative of the DC-10 which is a very large plane. If the Air Force could figure out how to put three booms on a 747 I’m sure they would love it.

Yup the Extender has been marginally successful but has the problem of field availability - it worked pretty well for flights of B-52’s topping off for the final inbound approach. A 747 would limit the available fields even more.
