Google founders make a sick move, can park their Boeing minutes from HQ
In the world of the uber-rich, it takes quite a bit to actually out-do another similarly-rich person. The founders of Google, though, have done just that, becoming the first (and only) people to be able to land, take-off, and park their Boeing 767 (or private aircraft of any kind) at a federally funded and maintained airstrip in the heart of Silicon Valley. Moffett Field, which is only about 4 miles from Googleville HQ, is run by NASA, and typically allows nothing in the way of private or commercial aircraft into its midst. But, for $1.3 million a year, Larry Page and Sergey Brin can. But that’s chump change for anyone owning a multi-billion-dollar Valley business…why are they so special? The catch is that NASA gets to put scientists, researchers, and gear on the uber-modified aircraft free of charge. This cuts down on the costs NASA typically has to spend on their own similar flights. Talk about a pimp move! We can already picture other company founders cursing their names as they sit in Frisco traffic trying to get to their office.
BAAALLLLLLLIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
I knew I should have picked “uber-rich” when i had the chance… instead i’m an elf in some stupid world craft game…
Nice move. Either way, thats an extra $1.3 Million towards NASA’s budget before all the money they save from using google’s plane.
Nice because Google will use NASA’s satellites for even scarier purposes now!
They are spreading their companies territory to really mean google.
You can’t even begin to imagine what google would be capable of if they turned evil.
Ha ha “Frisco traffic.” Nobody says Frisco. Ha ha ha. Ha ha. LOLlerskates.
I am soooo jealouos of these guys!
“We can already picture other company founders cursing their names as they sit in Frisco traffic trying to get to their office.”
Actually, I think most of the big guys keep their airplanes in Stockton and get picked up at SJC. Still, that’s pretty nice since I’d guess Moffett probably doesn’t have SJC’s time/sound restrictions.
