Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google Inc. co-founders are reportedly paying $1.3 million to NASA-run Moffett Federal Airfield. Why so much money and for what? Well you know how billionaires are…They have Boeing 767 planes to use. The $1.3 million is so they can take off, land, and park their Boeing 767 at NASA run airport just miles away from their headquarters in Silicon Valley.

This deal became effective on August 1st, but NASA’s Ames Research Center didn’t announce the agreement until this week. Using Moffett Field for private aircrafts is usually off limits. But I guess the geeks are Google are not only taking over the internet but airfields as well. The agency made an exception in exchange for the right to carry scientists and their equipment on planes used by Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin are both 34, and each worth about $17 billion, according to Forbes magazine’s most recent rankings of the world’s wealthiest people.

Their jet, the Boeing 767-200 is an airplane that usually carries 180 passengers, however, after remodeling for Page and Brin the plan can fit about 50 passengers.
