Original Note:
There ARE four E-4B Nightwatch "doomsday planes" in the USAF fleet, but the screenshot shows the US Navy E-6 Mercury, a comms relay used to communicate with submarines, and there are regularly four, or more, E-6Bs aloft over CONUS; it is not as remarkable as portrayed https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2022/05/10/does-america-need-its-doomsday-plane/ https://x.com/steffanwatkins/status/1351099773948993539?s=20 https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/31477/heres-why-an-e-6b-doomsday-plane-was-flying-tight-circles-off-the-jersey-shore-today https://x.com/steffanwatkins/status/1351098297268776969?s=20
