Anonymous Coward User ID: 20024671 Denmark 07/19/2012 08:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Looking Glass is the airbourne 767 in which President has the 'football' through which he can launch a nuclear counter strike in the event of a first strike. I suspect this is all about what is going down in the Middle East and the Russian/Chinese response to it. Assuming this is real, of course. Nobody here would have any real info on this unless they were on the plane on in the ground crew. |

"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1055574 United States 07/19/2012 08:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.nebraskastudies.org] SAC began this mission in 1961, and it was nicknamed "Looking Glass" because the plane mirrored ground-based command, control, and communications systems. From 1961 through 1990, a Looking Glass aircraft, with a full crew of 24, was in the air at all times. Then, with the breakup of the Soviet Union and tough economic times in the U.S., the Looking Glass system was changed. |
