September 11th, 2001 - Boeing E-4B NAOC callsign ADDIS77 scrambled from Andrews AFB. While ATC was calling them “VENUS” which is a typical callsign used at Andrews, you can hear the urgency of the pilot wanting to get airborne. The E-4 orbited over Washington DC for a while… Before continuing on to Offutt AFB in Omaha. This aircraft in the video is referred to as NEACP (National Emergency Airborne Command Post) This aircraft can serve as a flying WH/Pentagon if you will. Not knowing how the rest of the day was going to turn out…

🧵Since Aug 27th - The “Nuke sniffer” WC-135R (flying from Japan) and x2 RC-135S Cobra Balls (flying from Alaska) have been seen heading towards the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. A NOTAM has been in effect over the Kura Test Range which has been used for ICBM tests in the past. KC-135s have also been supporting these operations.
Some interesting news posted today by @nukestrat. While this may not mean that this particular sub is a participant related to the NOTAM above, it is of general interest.
