Quick note, this page has been repeatedly edited by someone appaerently from Offutt AFB, removing information about nuclear survival capabilities. --Ikarus 23:00, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Second most expensive?

The VC-25A seems to be more expensive (by about a hundred million dollars) than this E-4. Albeit they are of similar class... ....And the F-22 Raptor.

I've removed the entire statement as it's no longer factually accurate. Sperril 20:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Introduction

Please note that this is neither an introduction nor a sentence:

The Boeing E-4B Advanced Airborne Command Post, with a project name of "Nightwatch".

Would somebody please give this article a real introduction? Thanks. --Voidxor 03:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 9/11 Mystery Plane

So I just watched this video from CNN, complete with film of an unidentified jumbo jet over the white house on 9/11. CNN identifies it as an E-4. Now I'm not going to get into conspiracy theories here, epsecially theories I don't believe, but it does seem to imply that an E-4 is now stationed on alert at Andrews again. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2007/09/12/king.mystery.plane.CNN —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.7.78 (talk) 10:05, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

• Owing to the fact that a very reputable news organization has done a report on this, I think it's perfectly justified to include it in this article (with the report cited, of course) so I have done so per WP:BOLD. As an aside, CNN's report makes some pretty convincing findings that it was an E-4, though it doesn't mean any sort of conspiracy. All it means is that, probably for good reason, the E-4 was scrambled when the reports of the first attacks were received. But all this is speculation and not for the article, of course. 68.146.41.232 16:06, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

• I checked out the CNN report. They don't say that the aircraft was definately an E-4, just that it bore striking resemblence to one. There is no proof that an E-4 was flying around the White House on 9/11. Recommend rewording this blub to state something to the effect of "Speculation exists that the "9/11 Mystery Plane" was a military E-4."76.113.112.59 (talk) 17:04, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
