Korean Air 747-8s To Become Next USAF “Doomsday” Planes!

Sierra Nevada Corporation will use five Korean Air 747-8s to make replacements for the E-4B “Doomsday” aircraft of the U.S. Air Force.
We recently saw that Sierra Nevada Corp. won a USAF contract worth $13 billion, to supply replacement aircraft to the E-4B fleet. Boeing built these aircraft using the 747-200 airframe as its basis.

The first E-4B flew in 1978, with the previous aircraft getting upgraded to the same specification later. All four E-4Bs are older than the presidential VC-25As, which also use the 747-200 airframe.

5 Bedtime Drinks To Get A Good Night’s Sleep

Struggling to fall asleep every day? We wait to hit the bed right after a hectic day in the hope of just dozing away to dreams. Instead, we lie awake in our bed with eyes wide open just waiting for sleep to come by. Insomnia is a more common problem than we know. Many people suffer from sleep disorders like sleep apnea or insomnia, which leads to other health-related issues. A sleep-deprived body cannot function properly and the lack of focus caused by a drowsy mind leads to failure in carrying out day-to-day work. Some people spend the night tossing and turning in their beds, while others may not get as much as a shut-eye.
There are plenty of foods that can help you catch up on your sleep. But dietitians also suggest not eating anything right before sleep time. So, there is a string of beverages that you can have at bedtime, which can induce sleep in an equally effective way.

Here's a list of some drinks that can help you get a good night's sleep –
