The aircraft, a modified Boeing 747, is a flying control centre in the event of nuclear war or major crisis. The aircraft is supporting the U.S. President as he visits Brussels today.
The E-4B ‘Nightwatch’ is equipped with everything US officials would need to continue running the country, potentially from the skies, amidst a catastrophic world event. A fleet of four E-4Bs makes up the National Airborne Operations Center.

One of them is on alert 24/7 and always follows the President on overseas visits, that’s what’s happening today.
The aircraft has three decks and can hold a crew of up to 112 people.
The front of the plane contains living quarters for senior military officials, where 18 bunks are available for Air Force crew, Business Insider reports.
I thought the wire mesh in the windows was more aimed at protecting the huge amount of electronic gear aboard against the effects of an EMP…..
Probably so. These articles are often not worded so well.
You are correct.
Never have been
Yeah , we have Tempesting where i am which involves Mesh on the glass windows but that is more about stopping leaking radiation then protecting a EMF flash . Also not even sure if it is relevant anymore as we dont use Cathode Ray tubes anymore .
There used to be wire mesh in the windows at my youth club. Not sure it was for emp protection. 😂😂😂😂
Angry Ned protection only
Could u imagine being stuck on a plane with Boris for days
It would need a well stocked bar!
Is that a laser on top of the hump?
I believe that’s the port for mid air refueling.
A sat-link I seem to remember.
Or do they know something the aren’t prepared to tell us ?
