I know this model King Air is newer, but perhaps the same purpose? Looks like lots of interesting antanae on the airplane. Just a guess.
I think you are talking abut an RC-12. They usually have a few more aerials:

Oh look, they shaved all those warts off. Nothing to see here, move along. This isn't the droid you are looking for.

That is a scary/nasty looking King Air! My best guess at Jungle's pic was not good. Thanks for the picture - neat to see what it looks like.

Sometimes outward appearances don't tell you much.

After terminating the contract with the Gov. it went to HBS in San Antonio for a phase 1-4 and to de-lice it...remove all the DEA's fun toys. Prewitt took a couple trips to Mexico on some hunting trips before going in for paint and interior. Currently under contract and will be sold soon.
