The Bandit 200 King Air is a Paternian twin-engine light utility aircraft designed by Bandit Aerospace in 1968 for freight and passenger use. The type remained popular with private, commercial, government, and military operators throughout the world. Powered by two Bandit Excalibur turboprops as employed on the T-5 Angel series, it is as reliable and rugged as it is fast and sleek. In Paternian military service, the type has been accepted under the U-20 Ute, C-11 Rail, and T-42 Pegasus designations, denoting major internal and external differences between them to enhance suitability in various roles. Among the more distinctive military variants is the RC-11 Handrail signals intelligence aircraft. That type is informally referred to as the "porcupine" due to the large number of antennas protruding from the airframe. This particular example is a 200HA, or "high-altitude," denoting the type has a pressurized cabin.
