I wonder if they where thinking of Looking Glass the airborne NORAD command and control planes.

Yes they where I just looked it up on youtube at 1 hour 27 minutes it is a very long short film.

You should take a look at First Strike the sequences showing the Air Force and Navy members are real well not really real but the people where not actors they where missilers,pilots and submariners.For example the B-52 pilots have on their line badges which allow you to be on a bases flight line and not have an M-16 in your grill Hollywood would never get that detail.

Kind interesting the US was really worried about the SS-18 back then and the fear that it would allow a devastating first strike.The demo bit is pretty neat but the majority where they talk to experts is fairly interesting as well.

They used some sequences of this film in The Day After.
