For $1.3 million a year, Larry Page and Sergey Brin get to park their customized wide-body Boeing 767-200, as well as two other jets used by top Google executives, on Moffett Field, an airport run by NASA that is generally closed to private aircraft.


Take-offs and landings may well upset the local community. Most personal jets tend to be a bit smaller than a wide-body Boeing 767-200.
