Can any refueling aircraft refuel any other aircraft?
Both the KC135 and KC10 can refuel any aircraft in the inventory. This includes The Navy and Marine Corps. The tankers are set up to add the hose and drogue system commonly used aboard ship and there are NATO aircraft that still use the probe and drogue method.
