'Doomsday plane' flights
preplanned, not tied to
Trump COVID-19
diagnosis, Pentagon says


Washington Times, by Ben Wolfgang

Original Article

Two “doomsday plane” flights overnight off both U.S. coasts were preplanned and not tied to President Trump’s positive coronavirus test, military officials said Friday as they tamped down speculation that America was sending a warning to its enemies at a time of crisis. Social media erupted early Friday after images seemed to show that the military had dispatched two Boeing E-6B Mercury planes around the time Mr. Trump revealed his diagnosis on Twitter. The E-6B planes can convey instructions to nuclear-armed submarines, earning the aircraft their ominous nickname and making them a key piece of U.S. defenses in the event of a catastrophe.
