March 4th inbound: GRZLY12. Coming from Germany or further (South)East. Unlikely to be a Dutch Chinook!

Unfortunately, both passed my location too far North to obtain a visual identification :(

When searched for on the www, both turn out to be Beech 200s in grey c/s, possibly wearing US Army titles. MIL or not?! :?

Which still justifies the question: MIL or not?

Civil reg but US Army titles. So... Semi-mil?

Sorry, misread your question Ben.
IMHO it is now a civil aircraft operated and owned by Dynamic Aviation Group.
Most likely contracted by US armed Forces hence the Mil markings applied on the aircraft.
