On October 1st, 2020, hours before the U.S. President Donald Trump said on national television he had tested positive for COVID-19, strange planes, unknown to a large portion of the American population, appeared off the coast of Washington, D.C.

Moments later, another aircraft appeared on the West Coast, performing peculiar maneuvers just off California’s coast. Twitter user and aviation enthusiast Tim Hogan confirmed that those planes could be seen in Multilateration flight tracking, or MLAT, and were nothing less than E-6B Mercury aircraft, the “Doomsday Planes.”

These aircraft, better known as Mercury TACAMOs, or Take Charge And Move Outs, are intended to serve as communications centers. In the event of an emergency, they send short and long frequency messages to the National Command Authority to launch the American nuclear arsenal.

He suggested that it was no coincidence that the planes, which are rarely seen and tracked, appeared only a couple of hours before President Trump announced that the First Lady and he were infected with the virus.

Some experts have interpreted it as a message sent to America’s enemies: that no matter what happens to the President, the military is always vigilant and ready to unleash a nuclear arsenal in the event of a foreign attack.

Here are the details:

Major King, that message decodes as ‘Wing attack - plan R. R for Romeo.



Say again ?

Could be.

With TACAMO up and the SSBN's always out, readiness posture is clear.

That's plausible too. They do training, and operational flights just for credibility.

Thanks for posting.

But of course they are going to deny the two are connected and will instead claim coincidence. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, who knows? I guess it doesn't really matter either way.

But then again, why were the E6's allowed to appear on radar?

It is actually very common. Flight tracker enthusiasts track the E-6Bs all the time. For whatever reason, they’re one of the few American military aircraft the public can track via the Internet. You can often see them string the antenna and do circles for hours out in the VACAPES warning areas when they det out of Pax. All publicly available.

Why? Who knows.

AF1 and AF2 are visible almost all the time. RC-135's, E-4, and others are visible most of the time also.

Don't lose any sleep. They're not that stupid, it's a Navy program.

So tell us your REAL opinion on LCS vessels...
