On February 3, 1961: The United States Air Force begins Operation Looking Glass, and over the next 30 years, a "Doomsday Plane" is always in the air, with the capability of taking direct control of the United States' bombers and missiles in the event of the destruction of the SAC's command post.

This historical event can serve as a powerful sermon illustration about godly leadership and its impact. Consider using it when preaching about leadership.
