MODS: Don't delete this please as there is no sticky'd PlaneFag post right now. Anyway, Nightwatch is the Doomsday Plane, basically an Air Force 1 on 'Steroids'. POTUS would fly on this if there were an attack on the States. Another side note, there is currently no TFR over Mar A Lago unlike the other ex POTUS' have like Dubya. A TFR is a flight restriction over an area and if Trump were at Mar A Lago he would have one. https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.jsp
How often does nightwatch normally travel? Is it always in regular use to some capacity?
They very, but this doomsday plane has been flying pretty regularly this last week. It spent some time in NC, then went to NE and then down to FL
So this isn't the big guy doomsday plane. These are all called Nightwatch but the E4B 95-0125 is THE doomsday plane. it is the only one of its kind and has defense against nuclear emps. There are 3 other planes that can be used as general doomsday planes. 73-1677 which is in FL where the 0787 just took off from, the 0787, and the 73-1676 which was last seen in San Antonio
True, just really curious why no Flight Restriction over Mar A Lago unlike other ex POTUS' that have one, like Dubya near Dallas. https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.jsp
That is what I was attempting to insinuate. Monkey Werx has a great video on how his TFR disappeared right after a C-17 left the airport.
Is there a way to show the TFR's on that globe plane site? I can't find it in the settings
This is new to me, so I apologize before hand for asking an ignorant question. Why is it called "doomsday" plane? Is there a nuclear weapon on board the plane? Edit: Ok.. n/m.. just saw itsdazzling's response 2 comments above.
