President Donald Trump‘s emergency command aircraft was caught making a mysterious flight from Louisiana to a military base in Maryland on Tuesday.
The Boeing E-4 ‘Nightwatch’, also known as the ‘Doomsday plane,’ serves as a flying command post for key officials during times of crisis, particularly designed to survive a nuclear attack and coordinate military actions.
The craft took off from Bossier City at 5:56pm ET, traveled along the coast, looped around the border of Virginia and North Carolina, before landing at Joint Base Andrews at 10:01pm.
The flight lasted over four hours, sparking speculation online about its purpose.
Some observers believe the mission may be linked to increased presidential security amid rising fears of nuclear escalation in the Middle East.
Tensions have surged following reports that Trump is prepared to support Israel‘s military efforts against Iran, demanding Tehran’s ‘unconditional surrender.’
At least 224 people have been killed in Iran since Israel launched a bombing campaign last week, aiming to disrupt the country’s nuclear ambitions.
This is a developing story… More updates to come.
