The mysterious “flying Pentagon” was spotted in Los Angeles, igniting a flurry of social media speculation and conspiracy theories about serious trouble ahead.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was aboard the aircraft, commonly known as the “Doomsday Plane” when it touched down at Los Angeles International Airport Thursday night.
Hegseth is currently traveling on his “Arsenal of Freedom” tour, which aims to spotlight the U.S. defense industrial base and boost military recruiting, the Department of Defense confirmed to the Post.
Also aboard the plane was right-wing internet personality Laura Loomer. Posting on social media, Loomer said Hegseth called enlistees at the Los Angeles Military Entrance Processing Station “real elites and one percenters” for committing their lives to “God and Country.”
“Is it any wonder why U.S. military recruitment is soaring?” Loomer wrote, crediting Hegseth.
One user on X even referred to Hegseth as “badass.”
“This is essentially a nuclear-proof, airborne command unit,” one user on X wrote. The account, @ConcernedCitizen, which has more than one million followers, added: “Probably not a good sign.”

The wife and I were flying over the New Years holiday and all 4 flights were on time.
What was agrivating was that three of the four had the gates changed within hours of boarding.
One of the flights had the gate change 3 times the morning of the flight and the last time within minutes of boarding.
What the heck is that all about?
Everyone start pancaking. This is series.

Will have to go buy some batter. Sounds like a good idea.
“Probably not a good sign”
It all depends on what side your on.
I’ve been told (lied to) my entire life about the world ending, all I see is the crumbling of society, and the dollar being massively devalued.
Even for a a tabloid news blab, sounds like they are quoting a third grader.
“How often do you SEE an on-time passenger jet airplane these days??!?”
That is a quote from Freeper “Nervous Tick”. Not mine. I haven’t flown in a jet in many years.
Sounds like a TACAMO.
Egads it only took two posts until somebody trashed LL!
Nope, Boeing E-4B command plane.
Nothing special
I’d need my Zebco 33, some 30 pound line, and Grandads special getsemall lure to reel that baby in.
William Windom, as Commodore Matt Decker. The Doomsday Machine. When I was a controller, the 747 used the call sign “Night watch,” The FAA directives we used, essentially said, let the Night Watch aircraft do whatever the pilot wanted.
Meanwhile, much of Los Angeles is still ashes
Back in May I returned from a trip to Japan. Came back via a cruise that arrived in L.A. The cab ride from the port to LAX, especially after being in squeaky clean Japan, looked like a scene out of The Omega Man. It was embarrassing as an American.
That is a beautiful jet.
LA is safe so long as that thing is on the ground there. The danger comes when it takes off again and gets outside of nuclear blast radius. That’s when Newscum needs to start worrying.

Very likely that it would show up at airports now and then.
But don't let me get in the way of a good conspiracy theory!
