Why is the KC-10's different from the rest? Some Reserve crew hooked a crockpot up while flying and shorted out part of their electrical system a few years ago. I personally don't give a shit what you do, however on the -135 some patch cords/whatever you call them have been known to somehow short out the IACP (Interphone/Comm) pannel according to some maintainers.

Two words - Silver Bullet.
