Why would the 0ne have the E4B “Doomsday Plane” follow him to Russia and back? What message was he sending to the Russians? For those who don’t know what the E4B is it is the nuclear football on steroids. It’s a B747-200s, command and control aircraft designed to be used in the event of all out nuclear war. It usually stays in the air above the US in 12 hour shifts, just in case. So why would the One have one follow him to the G20 summit in Russia? My spidy sense says this is going to get out of hand, it will get out of hand and we’ll be luck to live through it. Who knows any thoughts? Link to the bizarre recording of the flight. http://theaviationist.com/2013/09/06/huge-return/#.UiuwrZTn9jo
Show us the flight manifest, get the pilot to sign a confession, prove to us that the actual, physical plane you mention exists by taking me by the hand and leading me to the top secret airport on a restricted military base so I can see it with my own eyes. Otherwise, you are only a conspiracy theorist and I cannot believe these claims. (/sarcasm) Yeah...if this is true, and I will assume it is for the sake of this conversation, then one must question who this show is being put on for. Is it a demonstration for Russia, or for the people in general? I would think the latter, since they are the ones who need the most convincing, and because corporate execs like Putin and Obama are more like fraternal brothers than enemies...cool find, though.
I suspect that due to the Iranian/Syrian issue and him being on that side of the pond that it may be prudent to drag the plane along. In case someone gets trigger happy while he is travelling. Sounds more like a secret service call to have it along...Barry's not that bright to think ahead in that regards.
Conspiracy theorist! /dismiss ....i wonder what's on tv tonight....school is back in and i can't wait for the fall line up on HBO...

IIRC, these flights used to be called "Looking Glass" during the Cold War when nuclear war could have happened at any moment. Back when I served we routinely intercepted Russian bear bombers off our coasts and had our own flights probing their borders as well. You wouldn't believe what our navies used to do to each other without actually shooting . Pucker factor was a lot higher back then.
Interesting. Never heard of the plane but what @NotSoSneaky said make sense. On a side note: the Reserves are out and training. Never seen a convoy using secondary roads, avoiding the highways.
First weekend of the month is a popular drill weekend. I would have been there too but doing the alternate drill this month. More to the topic, yes I think there are signs of some ominous crap going on. Not a good thing at all! I hope we as a country don't get dragged down a road we don't want to go down.
