Boeing E-4B Nightwatch Released
Project Open Sky released today another special variant of the great 747-200v4A series.
The E-4B Nightwatch is derived from the Boeing 747-200B and was introduced on the height
of the cold war in 1973 as E-4A. In 1979 the last of four aircraft was delivered and
equipped with new instruments, now designated E-4B. The rest of the fleet was updated to
the E-4B standard until 1985.
The E-4B is constructed to serve as an independent advanced airborne command post to withstand
the EMP after a nuclear weapon attack when parts of land bound electronic equipment is unusable.
The military leaders could control the entire armed forces of the US from this command
post. The 4 E-4B belong to the Air Combat Command,55th Wing, 1st Airborne Command
Control Squadron based at Offutt AFB.
Please have fun flying our newest model.
