This plane was photographed at Front Range Airport in Adams County, Colorado. The airport is east of Denver.
The "stinger" tail has magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) gear to detect submarines underwater. The chin bubble beneath the fuselage contains cameras and electronic gear. In addition to the two turboprop engines in the wings, it has wing-mounted jet engines for additional thrust used to increase cruising speed or for short field takeoff.
