A US Navy E-6B Mercury aircraft has been tracked using its tactical hex code #AFDA94, operating out of Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland. The E-6B serves as the Navy's TACAMO (Take Charge and Move Out) platform, functioning as an airborne command post for relaying orders to US nuclear forces. This tracking indicates ongoing operational activity, though the specific mission details remain undisclosed. Such flights are routine for maintaining command and control capabilities, but they often draw attention during periods of heightened geopolitical tension.
