Is that a twin otter?
I know there are a couple stationed in CO. Listed as UV-18B.
Also the Golden Knights have a order for 3 brand new ones. Maybe that is who owns them and they just haven't been painted yet.

No, they're some kind of Polish aircraft, that's all anyone around the office knows.

Re: What's This???
Mike,
it's a PZL-Mielec M-28 Skytruck, a Polish licence-built An-28.
Not sure about the reg of this one, but I think it is N319TW.
They also have N305ST, both are owned by Sierra Nevada Co., which is mentioned as a 'front company for US Special Forces'...

Re: What's This???
Would make sense to drop some operators behind the lines to spot the libyan ground forces for a visit by a JDAM
