Isn’t annoying when it is so difficult to find parking for your private jet? - Well, it seems that Larry and Sergey, the Google guys, have solved that problem, with NASA’s help:

“SAN FRANCISCO: In the annals of perks enjoyed by American corporate executives, the founders of Google may have set a new standard: an un-crowded, federally-managed runway for their private jet that is as close as can be to being in the company’s own backyard.

…The National Aeronautics and Space Administration confirmed earlier this week that H211, a limited liability company that counts Google’s chief executive, Eric Schmidt, as one of its principals, had secured rights to operate a refurbished wide-body Boeing 767-200 out of Moffett Field, an airport that is run by NASA and is generally closed to private aircraft.”

I am sure that your Mom told you - if you are thinking about buying that private jet, you better think about parking and gas.

Update: “Google Inc. co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are reportedly paying $1.3 million a year so their Boeing 767 plane can take off, land and park at a NASA-managed airport located just a few minutes away from the Internet search leader’s Silicon Valley headquarters.”
