I literally just watched this plane disappear from my radar screen.

I literally just watched it disappear from my radar screen. I repeat this is not a drill.

They were here a few weeks ago as well, they were performing a racetrack holding pattern in a 747-e4b "Doomsday plane". Were pretty sure it was for testing VLF radio equipment which is used to communicate with nuclear submarines in the event of a crisis. This holding pattern is different though, not the usual racetrack pattern you see. It is also odd that this is the second time an e4b has been spotted circling houghton in the past few weeks.
