A visitor from Brazil posted Sun March 21, 2010: The "nozzle" is indeed the stabilizer of a 5 mile long VLF wire antenna reel, and the "hump" houses a SHF satellite antenna.
A visitor from France posted Sat March 14, 2009: It is not an air refuelling device but the stablizer end of a VLF wire antenna !
A visitor from - posted Sat February 21, 2009: Someone asked what the nozzle is used for on the tail... it's essentially a fuel connection to allow for refueling in the air, should the situation present itself (ie. should landing not be an option).
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed January 7, 2009: Wow nice to see this plane at Brussels
A visitor from United States posted Sat September 13, 2008: Their are some quite distinctive feature on this 747 than the one most of us see in the air ,for example the small bubble on the nose and the large thing on top, I have to say great shot
A visitor from United States posted Thu July 12, 2007: I got to see one of these at Patric AFB in FL. I love this ship.
A visitor from Belgium posted Sun July 9, 2006: Just Top, to see it at Brussels!!!
A visitor from Canada posted Fri June 23, 2006: There is something that looks like a very small rocket nozzle on the tip of the tail. What's that?
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri June 23, 2006: Hello Giovanni, nice to see this one uploaded. I think we shared the same whole (in the fence ofcourse) that day to shoot her at Abelag. Excellent contrast!
A visitor from United States posted Fri June 23, 2006: Also known as "The Doomsday Plane" the plane the president would be in during a nuclear attack or other grave national emergency. Word is that Bush almost boarded one of these during 9/11.
A visitor from United States posted Thu June 22, 2006: Wow. Cool.
A visitor from United States posted Thu June 22, 2006: I think maybe a few more antennae might be in order. And what's with the special window pattern on the second deck when none of them are really windows anyway?
A visitor from United States posted Thu June 22, 2006: What is that thing on top?
A visitor from Canada posted Thu June 22, 2006: A very strange looking 747.
A visitor from Mexico posted Thu June 22, 2006: A really amazing 747. Leaves me with no word. T.B.
A visitor from United States posted Thu June 22, 2006: This is the plane to control the nuclear missle force isnt it. national airborne command center?
