Inside the 'doomsday plane,' the U.S. Air Force's E-4B aircraft, that's like a backup Pentagon.
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. — There is nothing quite like the Air Force's E-4B aircraft.747s are nearly six stories tall, equipped with four colossal engines and designed to survive a nuclear attack.
And much like Air Force One, its sister aircraft with the same recognizable paint job, most of the E-4B's capabilities are classified. Currently, there are four of these unique aircraft in the Air Force's fleet. The identical planes, which are based at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, have been in operation since 1980.Louis Briscese | U.S. Air Force photo
