King Air strikes back

Cute story in the NYTimes today about the military using older civilian-style aircraft for electronic, et al, surveillance. (Story here.)

The trend is much older than the reporter says, though it's been generally under the radar. (Sorry for the pun.) I was also pretty amused at the "computer chat rooms" comment - probably a quip by someone that the reporter took seriously. Kinda makes you think al Qaeda could direct a mission, doesn't it?
