E-6B Mercury Takeoff | Highly Advanced Aircraft Designed To Function In A Doomsday Event

Primarily operated by the United States Navy, the Boeing E-6B Mercury aircraft is a critical airborne command and control platform providing the National Command Authority with a remote redundancy to launch land-based LGM-30G Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles as well as ensuring a highly survivable communications and launch capability for the Navy's fleet of ballistic missile submarines.

This perfectly executed takeoff took place at Fairchild Air Force Base, 08.03.2020.
