Default 747 with an air scoop???

My father drove across northern Nevada yesterday. At one point, a 747 in
USAF markings flew low across the highway coming in for a landing at an
airport (he does not remember exactly where). The 747 had a truncated
cockpit hump... and a large air scoop just behind that. Does this sound
familiar to anyone?


It wasn't the YAL-1A airborne laser, was it?


That was my first thought, bu dad says no... the nose of the 747 was
normal. No big laser-mirror turret.
