Overview
- Fresno Yosemite International Airport said an E-6B conducted approaches on Sunday after residents reported a low-flying aircraft over the city.
- Public tracking data shows multiple E-6B launches since February 28, the week regional fighting expanded to include U.S. and Iranian forces.
- Two flights were observed on March 2, with one landing at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland and another cycling from Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.
- Several outlets reported additional sorties heading toward the Persian Gulf, though independent official confirmation of those movements remains limited.
- The Pentagon declined to discuss the activity for operational security reasons; the E-6B’s TACAMO/Looking Glass mission preserves nuclear command links to submarines and missile forces.
