A rare naked E-4B Nightwatch aircraft, commonly referred to as ‘doomsday plane’ was sighted in Fort Worth, Texas. The heavily modified Boeing 747 is specifically designed for the US government for times of national emergencies, especially nuclear war. The Texas sighting was ever rarer as the plane appeared stripped of its usual paint and covered in green zinc chromate coating, signaling ongoing maintenance or refurbishment efforts.
