Google has its own Air Force? No, not really, but the three top dogs at Google privately own a total of eight planes through a company called H211. The problem with aircraft is you need somewhere to park them close enough to be truly useful. Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt are offering $33 Million to restore a government owned airship hangar within a stone’s throw away to the Googleplex in exchange for partial use of the hangar. It just goes to prove that parking really is quite expensive.
The giant structure, built in the 1930s and called Hangar One, sits a few miles from the Googleplex and it’s well known the Google executives have special permission from NASA to park their jets at Moffett.
