Aviation enthusiasts/Military interest; Tour of one of the 4 "E-4B" Airborne Command Post Aircraft.

Built on a Boeing 747-200 airframe, this is a tour of one of the 4 active E4B Airborne Command Post aircraft that follows the president overseas or is available nearby at all times.

Very 1970's looking technology and decor which is apparently by design, as analog is much more resistant to Electromagnetic Pulse from a nuclear weapon than more modern digital technology. This video was uploaded in 2013, so if any knowledgeable Air Force vets can correct me, please do so.

17 minute video;

I simply can not imagine Herr Trumpenfuherer being allowed to give a command aboard one of these aircraft, but we all should realize that this president, more so than any other in the last 40 years, may indeed find himself aboard one, albeit by his own failures.
