Back ups are no good if they all drop offline from the original EMP. A sufficiently large EMP will fry anything. Stand too close to a source, did you? Bertie |

What's the harm in doing so, especially when it is so obviously that aircraft? General principles, never verify *ANYTHING* having to do with that plane. It does strike as a bit odd though, I would have thought SOP would keep it a outside of the blast zone of a DC nuke attack. George ride it back to DC instead of the VC-24 perhaps? |

If the terrorists had had nukes, they wouldn't have bothered with flying planes into buildings, so it was a safe bet that they didn't have them. |

The Boeing 747 VC-25 is basically an E-4B converted for presidential travel. It has the same EMP protection as the E-4B however the communications are as robust as an E-4B |

Back ups are no good if they all drop offline from the original EMP. Already taken care of.

If they were fueling, there would be a big ass truck next to the plane. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
