They must not have used the geniuses when they designed the wing refueling pods for the 135. The receiver is flying in the edge of the wingtip vortices, but that isn't critical because once your in the basket you don't have to be that steady. If you screw up the placement of a boom it would be a totally different situation.

Ever tanked up on the KC-10 with the NATO Pods on the wingtips and the boom on the tail?
