Superb catch of a very rare aircraft! Some nice mission marks too!

I'd love to catch one of these US Army Dash 8's, this is yet another different configuration too! Were the last couple of shots taken from the public side of the wire?

Glad someone caught it coming in. nipped over on way back tonight but not the best place to shoot it, was hoping it we be out on the main parking area. Did't notice the mission marks though, will have to stop there on route to work tomorrow to snap a shot!

Great pictures. What is this aircraft used for and what do the mission marks represent?
