[...]Thru monitoring radar and activating an open line with the FAA, the Secret Service was able to receive real time information about other hijacked aircraft. We were tracking two hijacked aircraft as they approached Washington, D.C. and our assumption was that the White House was a target. While the White House was evacuated, the Secret Service prepared to defend the facility.[...]

E-4B the White Plane
"Black Ice: The Invisible Threat of Cyber-Terrorism"

[...]"While Greene was rushing back to the NCS operations center to get a better understanding of what had happened in New York, civilian and military officials were boarding a militarized version of a Boeing 747, known as the E-4B National Airborne Operations Center (NAOC), at an airfield outside of the nation’s capital. They were preparing to conduct a previously scheduled Defense Department exercise. There are four E-4Bs, code-named “Night Watch,” in the U.S. military arsenal. They exist to provide the president, vice president, and Joint Chiefs of Staff with an airborne command center that can be used to execute war plans and coordinate other emergency government operations in the event of a national emergency or destruction of ground command and control centers. As a result, they are often referred to unofficially as “the doomsday planes.” One E-4B remains on alert at all times."
"As the crew of the E-4B was preparing to begin the regularly scheduled training exercise, including the use and testing of the aircraft’s various advanced technology and communications equipment, the Federal Aviation Administration was ordering all New York City area airports to cease flight operations. Minutes later, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey ordered all bridges and tunnels in the New York area closed."
"At 9:30, Bush informed his audience and the nation that America had become a victim of “an apparent terrorist attack.” Ten minutes later, the FAA ordered a historic nationwide grounding of all air traffic. It was clear to many officials, however, that the crisis was far from over. And that fact was driven home at 9:43, when American Airlines Flight 77 plowed through the thick concrete walls of the Pentagon.
There were thousands of airplanes still in the air and heading toward airports all over the country. And one of them, a 747 code-named “Night Watch,” had only just taken off and was immediately ordered to cease the military exercise it was conducting and prepare to become the actual national airborne operations center. America was under attack." [...]
