.........USAF C-32 (B757-200) were air-air refuel capable.

Check out this thread on FC where they are tracking Loco 70 (C32) and Quid 97 (KC135) doing so at the moment;

Edit: Loco 70 was this rather low-key marked chappie;

Hi Barry,

From what they are saying over on FC, the C-32B variant is able to refuel, however the more common C-32A (VIP) are not converted to do so.

What I found interesting was on Pg 2 of the FC thread, where the map showed the C32 doing a 360 degree turn to allow the tanker to catch up.
