- Take an inside look at the U.S. Air Force's E-4B Nightwatch which is used in case of a dire national security situation such as a natural disaster or nuclear war.
It flew over Placer Co. Calif., around Oct. 1, 2022. It had an escort and altitude was about 10 thousand feet.
Okay, let's say the worst case scenario happens, nuclear war and everything on the ground gets destroyed, who are these guys going to talk to ?
This is one heck of a job perk!
yep
Awesome plane!
Just felt one take off from LNK, temporary home while runway repairs are underway
It was nifty to see the aerial refueling. They say AF1/VC25 hasn't used that capability, but I find it difficult to believe. I definitely could see how the presidential airlift pilots would train on an E4 though.
One of these was spotted @ altitude over D.C. on 9/11. 🤔...
So Air Force One doesn’t have this plane’s capabilities?
It has many, but both are highly classified. The E4-B has more bells and whistles. AF-1 is a show horse to display power. E4-B is the dog on a chain carrying the power.
Right Now it Is flying! I see it on fr24
I just saw it over my house, but it didn't show up on fr24
LOKI82 landed at Wright-Patterson 1.5 hours later
*Can it spot a Spynese balloon over U.S. territory?*
Do it i wait
Technically you can call that the doomsday plane but the true doomsday plane is the mercury e-6b
And here I thought "Air Force One" was the name assigned to whatever craft the president (even the coprolite in the oval office we have now) is sitting in.
The scariest part is having Biden sitting in that chair.
