WATCH: Boeing 747 E-4B Nightwatch takes off from LAX after rare appearance

The Boeing 747 E-4B Nightwatch, often referred to as the “Doomsday Plane,” was seen taking off from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) following a rare public appearance.

The aircraft is operated by the U.S. Air Force and is designed to serve as an airborne command center during national emergencies. No official reason was provided for the flight, and such movements are typically routine but infrequently observed by the public.
