E-4B: I’m indestructible
Random bird: I’m about to end this plane’s whole career
Yeemint Official
Actually we hit an entire flock of snow grease back in 1987 and the pilot landed 125 safely back at Offutt on just one engine. As soon as we departed the aircraft we looked up in horror to see the entire front of the aircraft was covered in blood. 😉

Is a great pickup line.
"It's like the Pentagon, minus one gon"
lmfao, dude.
I don’t get it
@@t6amygdala The real pentagon would be gone (gon), so there's one less pentagon (there'd be zero) in our military, or- put another way- minus one gon.
@@jakehix8132 I don't think that's it, pentagon is a 5-sided object/layout in this case, and since the function of this battle-stafe room thingy is similar to pentagon, its just a pentagon(5-sided) and minus one gon(hence the square)

Those are some lucky members of the press and flight attendants.

I can't tell if I meant this sarcastically or not, tbh.
Well the flight attendants are members of the military so they're assigned to the aircraft!
So, if one of these is ready to go 24/7, does that mean that their are media reporters just sat on the plane, 24/7, just in case?

If a nuclear strike is on the way, how is the president going to have time to get to an airport and take off before it hits?
It takes like 5 minutes with the helicopter to get from DC to Andrews AFB which should be enough time if nuke is not fired from just outside the US east coast.
This was one of many reasons why the US did not like the Russian submarines with nukes on them being sailed to Cuba in the 60's.
It's true that getting to Nebraska takes too long time.
@@YekouriGaming Thank you! Didn't realise could get there that quick!
@@YekouriGaming And the appropriate response was, of course, to drop depth charges. On submarines. Equipped to launch nukes. And unable to communicate with the outside world beyond seeing explosions all around.
@@AtomicBlastPony Funny, USA developed SOSUS (Sound Surveillance System), to always track the USSR submarines even when they did not know the americans did that.

Nobody can.

Holy crap, VLF radio requires a 5 mile antenna?
Not that it requires it, but that it is more effective with a bigger antenna
Antennas should be at least 1/3 the wavelength of the frequency they're transmitting for it to be reliably effective (moreso at low frequencies than high). VLF ranges from 3000Hz-30,000Hz, with wavelengths between 10-100km long. 5mi/8km fills this role nicely while still being compact enough to fit on the plane.
Yea, the VLF has to get down to the submarines so they can nuke everyone that is still alive
it requires a couple of hours to fly out the full lenght so it has never been used, but it can in an apocalyptic world

Oh how interesting what’s your bank account and routing number I’ll keep it safe for redundancy.
But well, what about if your dashlane acount get hacked?
Hackception
RIP all your accounts together. Just use good old notepad or notes app on your phone if you have too many accounts, I use notes and it has the option to hide with your fingerprint or a password.( Also notes app and notepad make sure they don't have any access to the internet. )
Dashlane store all passwords encrypted, so not even they themselves know your passwords, and a hack on Dashlane could only retrieve the encrypted version. This means your account is as safe as the master password you chose, so better make it strong.
Or, like Alexeon suggested, you can use a free and local password manager like Keepass. Better keep backups of your password database though, cause otherwise if your laptop is stolen or your hard drive dies, all passwords are gone.
Lastpass is better
Just write your passwords down on a piece of paper. Can't be hacked and you will still be able to get your passwords if you forget them. And even if somebody breaks into your house, the likelyhood of him finding a small piece of paper tucked away somewhere is minimal.
(You can hide it pretty much anywhere, just make sure it's nothing valuable)
How do I get to be crew on those planes? Sounds like a great job. Either I just hang out in a plane on the tarmac all day because the apocalypse isn't imminent, or I get to survive the apocalypse for the small, small price of working my ass off when we're in the air.
It's not as glamorous. You maybe on alert for a few days a month and then you're back to an office job and doing paperwork.
As someone who worked on this plane I can tell you its easy. Join the Air Force, become a crew chief and like being in Nebraska.
Not sure but I have this elderly man come into my work time to time always wearing his Air Force One Presidential Crew hat

"doomsday is a little less imminent" that didn't age well
I just saw the thumbnail, saw a plane, and expected the wendover intro
I’m a 1A3, Airborne Mission Systems Specialist in the AF, and I work on the radio equipment on that plane. The Nightwatch truly is a badass plane.
My dad was on the crew for these back in the 80s. Don't know the specifics of his tasks at the time but he would, much later, tell me he had a briefcase handcuffed to him. Not sure if he was joking.
The fact that these aircraft have not been used is evidence that they have served their purpose.
That doesn't really make sense, the purpose of these particular aircraft is to survive doomsday, not prevent it. You could argue that that's evidence that the United States' nuclear arsenal is serving it's deterrent purpose, but that's a different debate

0:09 seems relevant right about now
Great comment on the pentagon minus one gon.
In regards to Offutt, Nebraska you stated "because really who would nuke Nebraska?". Well it's a target, has been pretty high on the target list for a while. Offutt, Nebraska is the former home of SAC (Strategic Air Command) and is still a command post. SAC and most of the B-52 bombers associated with it were decommissioned in the 1990's when the cold war effectively ended and so what made up SAC was rebranded into something else. Not sure why the E4 isn't stationed near the POTUS, might have something to do with the COC or a mission change in the E4 from the cold war to today. Also you never mentioned the fact that the E4 was nicknamed "Looking Glass" since during the cold war they had at least one in the air at all times (in the event of a sneak attack for example). A lot of those old practices have been likely abandoned due to not having any direct rival now, but I imagine if US forces were placed at a high level of alert, the USAF has something very equivalent in place.
E-4B is “Nightwatch”. The Looking Glass was an EC-135.

I have some friends from the navy who are naval aircremen aboard one of these. They were getting security screenings every week when we were in training. They had FBI agents track down family and visit their home towns. Then they left to Tinkert Oklahoma air force base and we never heard from them again.
All that stuff but no washer or dryer, so does that mean they wear the same clothes for 2 weeks?

In response to another comment:
It doesn't have one week's worth of fuel. It would probably have to refuel at least daily (done by aerial tanker like the KC-135, KC-10, or the new KC-767). The reason it could stay airborne only one week is probably things like toilets need to be emptied, no more fresh water, no more food, etc. If those things weren't an issue, it could probably fly longer than one week, as long as there were tankers available.
I live in Omaha! Offut has lots of strategic command stuff because it's so far inland that it's very easy to defend from incoming attack, and very far from any important places that it wont be attacked. Nice to know were not important!
