Trump's 'Doomsday Plane' Left Nebraska And Flew East Across America - Nobody Is Saying Why The Air Force's E-4B "Nightwatch," the airborne command post built to run a nuclear war, took off from Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska on Thursday and flew east across the Midwest on a mission nobody has explained.

Flight-tracking data reviewed by the Daily Mail shows the jet crossing Illinois and Indiana into Ohio, where it was tracked at about 2:41 p.m. Eastern at 31,000 feet and a ground speed of 573 knots, roughly 660 mph.
It then turned south over northern Virginia, west of Washington. The tracking images listed no destination, and the route alone does not show where it was headed or why. The purpose of the flight and the identities of anyone aboard have not been publicly confirmed, the Mail reported.
