Navy:
TACAMO Plane
E-6B Mercury/E-130J
"Take Charge And Move Out"/Looking Glass
16 Operational
Aircraft designed to communicate with submerged submarines using VLF radio to ensure nuclear launch orders are received.
The term “Looking Glass” referred to the aircraft’s ability to “mirror” the underground US STRATCOM command center, in the event that it’s destroyed or becomes disabled.
Air Force:
Doomsday Plane
E-4B Nightwatch
4 operational
"National Airborne Operations Centers" designed to withstand nuclear blasts, carry top leadership, and act as a flying command center.
It costs approximately $159,529 per hour to operate, covering fuel, maintenance, and crew. While specific daily, non-stop flying costs depend on active missions, a 24-hour continuous flight would cost roughly $3.8 million.
Nuke Sniffer Plane
WC-135 Constant Phoenix
3 Operational
Highly specialized aircraft used for detecting radioactive debris in the atmosphere, making its operational expenses significantly higher than standard transport aircraft.
It costs nearly $100,000 per hour to operate. At this rate, a single 10-hour mission would cost approximately $1 million in fuel, maintenance, and crew costs.
