Looking Glass is airborne

For background, there are 16 of these E-6B Mercury aircraft operating as Looking Glass stationed at Travis and Patuxent River. They are always on alert and usually airborne 24/7 so that they are always survivable.

The aircraft fly from these bases to predetermined orbit points over the ocean and hold there in a series of slow 25°-40° banks for six to ten hour missions. They can also refuel and stay up longer.

This one is out of Pax River and is on one of these routine station missions over the Atlantic. If it was anything out of the ordinary, they would not be broadcasting ADSB-2 for all to see.

I see the E6s up every couple days.

It's the E4 that should worry you

In the movie “ the day after” the nukes fly during college football Saturday

Aren't we supposed to get 2 weeks notice before doom?

This is unfair!

They are up all the time. See above.

They don’t leave their ADSB-2 transponders on most of the time, so we don’t see them. They usually leave them on enroute to station because of the commercial traffic.

Such as this one right now

This thread is as much dumb fluff as a Skyking thread.

You really are such an annoying and ignorant dumbshit.

Crap! We just got turned back to the house by the cops and told to take shelter!!

Ehhh wasn´t looking glass retired in like the early nineties?

Forces went into Mount Weather in March of 2020, did they ever come back out?

Great.

Tell me, when did America get to vote on whether we go to war against Russia? We are the ones that will get nuked.

Stealth bombers are flushing out of Whiteman in large numbers.

They just locked the base down.

Here we go.

If it was anything out of the ordinary, they would not be broadcasting... for all to see.

If the guy next to the B-2 Airforce base is to be believed and not LARPING, they locked down the base and launched the B-2s.

Doesn't sound so normal to me.

As said above, this aircraft has now switched off its ADSB-2 transponder having reached its mission station where it will be doing orbits.

That’s the way it happens, every day and has always been.

Seriously nothing to see here.

Yeah, except "Crap! We just got turned back to the house by the cops and told to take shelter!!"

Dumb LARP. I suspected so but stayed out of it. This confirms.

Some dumb kid, that's all.

"They were designed as mobile airborne operations units specifically designed to emit command and control codes to the United States intercontinental ballistic missile systems (ICBM) on the ground in the event of an attack on the United States by the Soviet Union".

It won't let me post the link for some reason.

If DC gets nuked, it is to ensure we can still wage nuclear war in response.
