Think your ride is cool? I bet it’s no match for the National Airborne Operations Center, no matter how pimped out yours is. Known colloquially as the “Doomsday Plane,” the Boeing 747 is outfitted enough to be considered a floating Pentagon. (In the event of a devastating attack upon the United States, the Doomsday Plane serves as a mobile Pentagon.) It’s got enough food, water, fuel, etc. to stay afloat for days on end. To top it off, about a dozen of the most “relevant” war plans are always onboard. Watch your ass, Sealand.

Of course, we couldn’t get a picture of this uberplane, so just pretend that this Secret Service guard is in front of it and not Air Force One.
