Airborne!

This is coolbert:

A nothing? Do not have concerns? There is precedent for this sort of event? 

Thanks to Station 95 and the tip from Jeff.

"Air Force 1 and 2, plus FLOTUS in S.A.M. and an E-4 Command Aircraft all airborne as NATO raises Alert Status for 300,000 Troops in Europe citing 'Russia Concerns'"

EVERYONE ON HIGH ALERT? PRESIDENT, VICE-PRESIDENT, THEIR RESPECTIVE FAMILIES AND OTHER HIGH OFFICIALS OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ALL IN THE AIR AT ONCE?

"Something seems very peculiar.  As of 3:46 PM eastern US time today, November 7, Air Force One, Air Force Two, a Special Air Mission (SAM) with FLOTUS and SLOTUS,  PLUS an E-4 Military Global Command Aircraft are all airborne. This means the President is in one plane, the Vice President is in another.  Their families are in a third plane and a military global command post (E-4) are all in the air at the same time."

E-4 that TACAMO aircraft. Take Charge And Move Out! Issues the GO codes to nuclear equipped units!!

S.A.M. I was not aware of. Special Air Mission. Carrying cabinet members and lesser officials as designated to run the government in case of world-wide disaster.

"The United States Air Force Special Air Mission is the safe, comfortable, and reliable air transportation for the President of the United States (POTUS), Vice President of the United States (VPOTUS), First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS), Presidential Cabinet, U.S. Congressional delegations (CODELs), and other high-ranking American and foreign dignitaries."

Think Proud Prophet and Able Archer from a much prior period? I fear the worst here. Let us all hope my fears are UNFOUNDED!

That TACAMO painted with anti-flash white. Anti-flash as from a nuclear weapon going off in close proximity. Get it?

P.S.: A simpler explanation for all this has been made by an acknowledged authority. This is all part of the last-minute political campaign leading up to the events of yesterday, the American Presidential election. Probably so.
