From Daily Mail: The US Air Force’s Boeing C-40B Clipper is currently flying west after departing Washington DC Tuesday morning on an undisclosed mission.
The aircraft, often described as an airborne ‘war room’ or ‘flying office,’ is used to transport high-priority personnel, including Cabinet members, combatant commanders and senior military leaders.
It also provides secure, global communications capabilities for VIP transport and special missions.
The plane’s destination is listed, but officials have not disclosed the purpose of the flight.
It was last seen in the Midwest over Missouri and Kansas.
Such departures may entail “ferrying the aircraft to a western base for maintenance, staff transport, or setup for a future pickup, congressional or DoD support travel, or other non-public operations,” the Mail notes.
Speculation grew over its mission amid unrest over federal enforcement operations.
