Sorry for the poor quality of the image. Had to shoot through a tinted bus window while touring the AMARG facility in Tucson.....

Funny enough, I did a Google search on DC-10 WASP to do a little research and your picture came up.

This came up on Wiki:

"Additionally, one former American Airlines DC-10-10 is operated by the Missile Defense Agency (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_Defense_Agency) as the Widebody Airborne Sensor Platform (WASP).[43] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_DC-10#cite_note-42)"

Slight thread drift, but I was looking at our offices from Google Earth Street View and I saw a picture of one of my buds going out for a smoke. About a couple of hundred yards from where the beauty in your picture was built actually.
