Years ago Richard Nixon and RoboCop joined for charity.



It did not go well.



And Robocop fell...



Then Robocop read Prime Directive #4 - "Any attempt to arrest a senior officer of OCP results in shutdown" (Listed as [Classified] in the initial activation)

Yeah, that’s right. Jones not Nixon. Robocop had been fooled. And he swore revenge.



And the video game was never released.

The Story Behind That Nixon-RoboCop Photo


On Feb 11, 1977, Jimmy Carter became the first president to fly aboard the E-4A National Emergency Airborne Command Post (NEACP, now an E-4B called the National Airborne Operations Center, or NAOC) on his first flight home to Georgia three weeks after taking office.



En route to Warner-Robins Air Force Base during the roughly 90-minute flight, Carter and Sen. Sam Nunn (D-GA) were briefed on NEACP’s capabilities by its 15-member battle staff. The flight and the public reporting about it—were no doubt of great interest to the Soviet Union.



On June 15, 1980, the Chicago Tribune reported that in the event of a nuclear attack, President Carter who had immersed himself in nuclear command and control procedures—had decided that he “plans to remain in the White House and send Vice President Mondale up in the aircraft.”

The Department of Defense tried to downplay the incident (and a second similar false alarm three days later when technicians sought to re-create and diagnose the June 3 incident) and reassure the public by arguing that ~50 previous alerts in 1979 were all valid.



Note that Jimmy was a Navy "silent service" nuke guy.


By the way, this is the final entry in Carter’s official daily diary for February 11, 1977:



President Carter was not the first president to fly aboard NEACP. That would be President Nixon, who flew on an earlier version of the “doomsday plane” eight years prior:


May 11, 1969, Richard Nixon became the first president to fly aboard the National Emergency Airborne Command Post (NEACP, aka the “Doomsday” plane), traveling from Homestead Air Force Base, Florida, to Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, on an EC-135J.

The History Of American Presidents Flying Aboard Doomsday Planes

Among those accompanying Nixon on the flight were his National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger, Chief of Staff (Plumber) H. R. “Bob” Haldeman, White House Counsel John Ehrlichman, Press Secretary Ron Ziegler, and White House Military Office aide USAF Col. James Hughes.


Haldeman memorialized the trip in his journal: “Came back to DC on the Airborne Command Post—and they staged a briefing and a test exercise. Pretty scary. They went through the whole intelligence + operational briefings—with interruptions, etc. to make it realistic.”

“Exercise proved to President that when the Russians appear to be launching an attack our options are pretty limited + our retaliatory strike power is pretty weak. ... Took President a while to get into the thing (his mind was on the peace plan) but he finally did—and was quite interested.”

“Asked a lot of questions re: our nuclear capability—and kill results. Obviously worried about the lightly tossed-about millions of deaths.”
