2 Types of Doomsday Planes Just Appeared Over Missouri

Let's begin by emphasizing that this does not mean the end of days is upon us. It's just an interesting twist of uncommon aviation aircraft that have appeared nearly simultaneously over Missouri. Two different types of "doomsday planes" were seen over the state by residents today.

Thanks to Military Aircraft Tracker, I can prove that there were two different types of "doomsday planes" over Missouri today. The first was an E-4B Nightwatch that traversed the entire length of the state in a path that took it from the extreme northwest tip of Missouri to the extreme southeastern part of the state. The US Air Force says "In case of national emergency or destruction of ground command and control centers, the aircraft provides a highly survivable command, control and communications center to direct U.S. forces, execute emergency war orders, and coordinate actions by civil authorities".

The more interesting "doomsday plane" to me is the E-6B which was spotted flying a bizarre pattern over the southwestern part of Missouri a few hours ago. The US Navy says the E-6B "provides survivable, reliable and endurable airborne Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) for the president, secretary of defense and U.S. Strategic Command."

The timing of these two "doomsday planes" over Missouri is interesting as their presence over the state coincided with the flight of a Tupolev Tu-214PU which is an elite airborne command post within the Kremlin’s special command and VIP transport fleet. Coincidence? Probably. Intriguing? Absolutely, in my opinion.

A "doomsday plane" or planes over Missouri isn't uncommon. It's just a reminder that our armed forces are doing the work of protecting us most of the time when you aren't aware of it. That's why our support of them at all times is vital. Just be glad these flights are likely precautionary and not a response to a real emergency.
