United States Navy E-6B MERCURY 164386 as SLUR82 at FL240 over the San Francisco Bay Area. The E-6B is an emergency communication platform and is a survival part of our nuclear deterrence. It is literally the most powerful aircraft in the world as it can relay launch messages to our SLBM's and ICBM's. It is painted all white to help reflect the thermal pulse of a nearby nuclear blast
