These are used to keep in contact with subs and ground based missile systems. Welcome to planewatching, these guys and gals have some of the most random paths that any military plane with their adsb on will have.
They don't seem to have a normal everyday route like most of the c17's and c130s you see. Never taking the same path twice their flight paths can be quite comical with sharp turns and loops and long flight durations.
This is what I come up with ! Is this the same bird?
Looking Glass is the code name for an airborne command and control center operated by the United States. In more recent years it has been more officially referred to as the ABNCP. It provides command and control of U.S. nuclear forces in the event that ground-based command centers have been destroyed or otherwise rendered inoperable. In such an event, the general officer aboard the Looking Glass serves as the Airborne Emergency Action Officer and by law assumes the authority of the National Command Authority and could command execution of nuclear attacks. The AEAO is supported by a battle staff of approximately 20 people, with another dozen responsible for the operation of the aircraft systems. The name Looking Glass, which is another name for a mirror, was chosen for the Airborne Command Post because the mission operates in parallel with the underground command post at Offutt Air Force Base.
It looked like it was going to New York, then turned out to the Atlantic after flying over New York
Sharp turn too!
Made a U-turn just now
When you search Looking Glass on qanon the tweet is associated with a suspended account and can not be viewed
