Anyone ever seen anything like this? It was parked at our local county airport.

I'm going to guess it's some kind of army modified King Air. Interesting plane. Wonder what purpose it serves. Looks like it's got some extra fuel tanks and some kind of air data sampling stuff on top. Again, just a guess.

I believe the designation is RC-12 or 21 or somethine like that.  I believe it acts as a communications/electronic intelligence type aircraft.  It is basically a King Air 200 full of electronic equipment and covered with all kinds of antennas.
