The KC-10 cannot refuel certain aircraft due to the center engine. its great for fighters and bombers but not T tails and awacs.

cannot

What are the aircraft that the KC-10 "cannot" refuel? Is that "cannot" definitive or is it supposition on your part and what exactly is it about #2 that makes refueling certain aircraft impossible?

KC-10 C-17 27 December 2007

KC-10 C-5 23 July 2007

KC-10 C-5 C-141

Same claim about the RAF Tristars and a T-tail like the VC-10:

or a Tristar and a Sentry AEW.1?
