There are two planes in the US inventory referred to as the "Doomsday Planes". The first plane is the E-4B, also formally known as NECAP pronounced "Knee-Cap". It is the plane that usually carries the American President overseas at long distances. It is equipped to stay up in the air for about 30 days with in flight refueling. The other plane is the E-6A Mercury. It is a modified Boeing 707, that is equipped with a retractable 2 mile long wire antenna to transmit orders in Extreme Low Frequency (ELF) from NORAD or Strategic Command HQ STRATCOM in Omaha, NE or NECAP to the US ballistic missile subs. It is flown by the USN and based at Tinker AFB in Omaha. These planes also have taken over the Strategic Command airborne command post. They will carry on the missions of the land based NORAD and STRATCOM in case they are destroyed by either a nuclear attack or terrorist attack. They were retired at the end of the Cold War. The plane is now called the NAOC, National Airborne Operation Center.
