What's up with this King Air?

The flight history for this king air is rather unusual. It also has somewhat larger than standard fuel tanks aparently!

Anyone know what it is doing?

Thanks guys.

Sorry, I didn’t have time to conduct a search before I posted.

The 200T! A very rare bird indeed. If I remember correctly, there were only 23 or 25 aircraft of this configuration ever built.

Watch for N136DH, N101AJ & N808NC as well. All collecting a lot of data for someone. :open_mouth:
