Looks like it's being used for aerial mapping, i.e. Google Map/Earth, looking at the flights it's been doing.

I also saw Bob Hoover do a barnstormer's loop and roll in his, with both engines off.

Recall seeing Hoover’s amazing performances. Not only would he loop & roll the Shrike Commander, he would shut one engine down (prior to deadstick manuevers), then roll it into the dead engine - talented (and brave) indeed…!
General Jimmy Doolittle described him as the best “stick-and-rudder” pilot he’d ever witnessed…

I saw Bob Hoover at Reading, PA. What a show! At the time I was flying a Grand Commander (680FL) and a 500. I was absolutely amazed. Loved the Commanders. They were great airplanes in those days.
