Six e-6B “Mercury” aircraft are airborne over the continental United States (CONUS) today. Each is a Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications plane!
The E-6B Mercury is a communications relay and strategic airborne command post aircraft. It provides survivable, reliable, and endurable airborne Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) for the president, secretary of defense and U.S. Strategic Command. Two operational squadrons (“Ironmen” of VQ-3 and “Shadows” of VQ-4) deploy from their main Operating Base at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, supported by the TACAMO Weapons School and the fleet replacement squadron (the “Roughnecks” of VQ-7). They deploy aircrews to Forward Operating Bases at Travis Air Force Base, California; Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska; Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md.; and other locations, as directed.
Here are the E-6 planes over the continental United States March 12, 2024:
Boeing derived the E-6A from its commercial 707 to replace the aging EC-130Q in the performance of the Navy’s TACAMO mission. TACAMO links the National Command Authority (NCA) with naval ballistic missile forces during times of crisis. The aircraft carries a Very Low Frequency communication system with dual trailing wire antennas. The Navy accepted the first E-6A in August 1989.
The E-6B was conceived as a replacement for the Air Force’s Airborne Command Post due to the age of the EC-135 fleet. The E-6B modified an E-6A by adding battlestaff positions and other specialized equipment. The E-6B is a dual-mission aircraft capable of fulfilling either the no-fail TACAMO mission or the Looking Glass mission, which facilitates the launch of U.S. land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles using an airborne launch control system (ALCS). The Navy accepted the first E-6B aircraft in December 1997 and the E-6B assumed its dual operational mission in October 1998. The E-6 fleet was completely modified to the E-6B configuration in 2003.
Why there are SIX of these aircraft operating over CONUS today, is unknown. Drill? Threat?

I think it was a drill. It would have been fewer if a threat, don’t you think?

Sounds like a “show” to me. What is there to fear ? Is the Trump
administration/White Hats doing this to alarm the populace ?
I thought the benevolent Galactics neutralized all current
nuclear threats or is there something more like “blue beams?”
Dunno. Just guessing…

Of course it’s a show…they aren’t gonna be allowed to set off nukes….ever again.
If you haven’t watched ‘Acknowledged’ documentary where all these military generals and pilots talk about how ETs had shut down all those nuclear warheads some time ago.
It’s a fear campaign supposedly for the normies although to me just promoting more fear and not waking them up, they are the ones that paniced over a fake pandemic and wore masks and sheilds and two masks and got 3 jabs….ya think they are gonna go…oh, this isn’t real, this is just a show….it creates alot of chaos and to me is more like torture….threaten to kill them all and watch what they do.
