Having a smoke in the garden at about noon, saw this strange 747 landing at heathrow... at first thought it was air force one, decided to take a closer look so went for a ride to Heathrow and this is what I saw an E-4 Nightwatch (as was pointed out in an other thread) sorry about the shots was the best I could get. Strange that its using Heathrow and not a military base plenty around it could use, but then again it could be being used as a very expensive taxi for some high level US government member... any ideas?

Good catch, that is one of my Fav versions of the 747.

But for your question, it frequently visits normal Airports, When ever the President is in that Country, or transporting the Sec. Of Defense, or Sec of State if they ask.

brakedown?!?.... send in the spare parts!
Never seen one of these at Heathrow my only guess is that the plane really did breakdown or the defence sec. forgot his tooth brush?! lucky I had my camera at hand..
