Brazil has had 4 KC-137s... B707s converted to aerial refuelers with wingtip hose pods (only 3 active as of March).

In March of this year they signed a contract with IAI to convert 2 (or 3, the article below says both) B767s to aerial refuelers, also with wingtip pods. Talk about a timely contract!!!

I guess we know which will be the first KC-137 replaced.
