Subject: Iranian KC-747 aerial refueling tankers?

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. pics: homepage.tinet.ie/~steven/images/iriafb7477.jpg homepage.tinet.ie/~steven/images/iriaffuel.jpg - Also - don't recall seeing a 747 with a refueling receptacle as in the second picture. Do they exist outside these Iranians?

According to Wikipedia, pre-revolution Iran purchased 4 747-100s modified to refuel F-4s.
