The RC-26 is an ISR (Intelligence,Surveilance and Recon) aircraft used in counter-drug operations and counter narco-terrorism,also works with federal agencies when directed including Homeland Security and Us Secret Service for Special security at national events,like the Super Bowl,there was an RC-26 providing live pictures back to security ops as they were flying around the stadium.The crew is 2 plus one systems operator and usually government agent on board when working for DHS or other agency. They are ANG aircraft and also do the same thing for US Military,the aircraft are provided at no cost for government operations.
Several are now assigned to RS (Recon Squadrons) and work closely along the Us borders,because of their special cameras on board.

A couple of years ago, one orbited north of my location in central Kentucky. I later found out it was involved in counter-drug ops. Nice looking aircraft & very distinctive, it kind of reminded me of a mini U-2 with propellers!
