I didn't even know these existed. Apparently Iran has or had a squadron of 10 of these. From research I'm not certain if Boeing modified the 747's or just did a prototype and provided aircraft and parts to convert the others? I wonder how many are still flying.

- Also - don't recall seeing a 747 with a refueling receptacle as in the second picture. Do they exist outside these Iranians?
