A new doomsday plane will be joining the United States Navy's fleet, Lockheed Martin's EC-130J Hercules, replacing Boeing's E-6B.
The E-4B, a militarised version of the Boeing 747-200, is a quad-engine, swept-wing, long-range high-altitude aircraft capable of refuelling in flight.
Both Russia and the U.S. are the only nations with 'doomsday planes,' the Ilyushin Il-80 (Maxdome), and Boeing E-4B (Nightwatch).
The United States Air Force's Boeing E-4B took flight from Nebraska to Chicago and back for a training mission on February 28th.
