B747 Tanker Question

I've just seen a B747 with an inflight refueling probe in Jakarta. The probe looks pretty similar to those on the KC10, the aircraft has a dirty blue scheme and no titles.

This isnt a spotters question, but i have never seen or heard of a KC747?

Any ideas?

Apart from the prototype which had a boom fitted presumably around the time of the KC-10 bids, the only 747s that I`ve heard of with booms are Iranian AF aircraft. I`ve seen the receiver only version occasionally at SPL.

As for being at CGK-----Islamic fraternity ?

We`re all spotters sometimes.
