Doomsday Plane spotted in D.C. — what is it and who’s behind the mysterious aircraft?

Doomsday Plane E-4B Nightwatch made headlines after it landed near Washington D.C. amid rising Iran-Israel tensions. The powerful U.S. Air Force aircraft, built to function during nuclear war, took a highly irregular flight path from Louisiana to Joint Base Andrews late Tuesday night. With President Donald Trump weighing a possible strike on Iran’s nuclear sites, the sudden movement of this plane — also called the National Airborne Operations Center (NAOC) — has sparked widespread speculation. Its advanced nuclear protection, global communication systems, and crisis command features make this a major signal of increased military alertness.
