King Airs N40Y and N57B

Americansoldier15U

Does anyone have any info on these birds? Both are dark gray in color and have come in and out of Fort Hood multiple times in the last few weeks. Seem like maybe contracted airframes that will be fitted with sensors and such for use overseas? Something like that maybe? Saw many of them operated by L-3 in Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan. Like this:

didnt have the bumps on them, but otherwise, same coloration. Anyone have any clue? I'll get the bad shots of them up for reference soon.

I'm sorry i must have implied what i meant incorrectly. I was using that pic as an example of what the 2 i saw looked like, not as the actual ones I saw. I know all about N906EA, but not sure about the other 2 I mentioned. thanks for the reply though!

Basically a charter outfit, for hire.

Most of their fleet was comprised of C-47 and ex mil C-12's (King Airs). They do everything from charter, geo-surveys, and spraying operations.
