Originally the E-4A was supposed to be a command post in case of nuclear war. That particular one on Anet is an E-4B which does nuclear weathering and communication. It's just a fancy E-3..

Ace, just to make things easier, you could have pasted the link:

http://www.airliners.net/open.file/597077/L/

Same file, smaller URL making things cool and the Topic symmetrical.

You could also hyperlink it like THIS

Cheers,
