A striking video captured what may be a first in its 50-plus years of flight history: the Boeing 747 E-4B Nightwatch, famously known as the “Doomsday Plane,” touching down at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday evening. The ultra-rare appearance immediately raised eyebrows, as the aircraft is typically kept far from commercial airports and public view. Seeing the airborne command center—built to operate during nuclear or national emergencies—parked at LAX was unexpected, unusual, and unmistakably new.
