I do hope you were being cheeky. Otherwise your lack of knowledge of how jet engines work and interact with atmospheric conditions at altitude make you look ridiculous.

As I recall, the E-6 TACAMO’s absorbed the duties of the former Looking Glass plane - now does comms with the sub fleet and CONUS defenses / offensive assets.

As least that’s something I read way back. Gotta love those huge engines on the TACAMO planes.

It takes a big engine to lift the weight (reinforced wings, extra fuel, big transmitter and antenna reel) AND turn the generators.

I don’t care how ridiculous it makes me look. It is chemicals that they are lacing out skies with. Can’t help it if you play ignorant.
