A surprising piece of news was buried in an article this week. Friday, The Mercury News reported the three top executives at Google, Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt, are offering to pay $33 million to finish the restoration of the historic airship hangar at Moffett Field. 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.

For those who don’t know, Intel has a fleet of 4 jets which fly between its west coast sites. The planes are available to all employees who are traveling on Intel related business.

Whatever they're drinking - send a case of it to all the other CEO's.

These men earned it - let them spend their money like they want...

If someone wants to resent people for their money - trust fund babies come to mind ..

They'd better be careful. The Mythbusters have used the hangar in the past, and they had a bit of trouble with an experiment last week.

“Oh so that is where all the Chrysler, GM and Ford Jets went”

Google overwhelmingly supports Democrats, so it’s OK...

Did anyone tell Alec Balwin abt this - he’ll need to piggyback a ride on their jets, once he’s banned from commercial air.
