New England Patriots buy 2 B-767s for team travel!

Well hopefully they keep the tires properly inflated. They don't need another DeflateGate.

Based on the last several years of competition, methinks the Patriots already owned the Jets.

They must have other plans for them...two pre-season road trips plus eight away regular season plus/minus playoffs would add up to a major expense particularly since two regular games are close to home in Buffalo and New York. That is a lot of aircraft to be sitting from January to August.Likely Kraft will use them for his soccer team as well.

Oh boy, here come all the "Patriots" comments... Come'on guys, they won fair and square! I wonder where they acquired the 767s from. Delta?? AA?? Who's gonna maintain them?

wow! nice paint.

Two? Do they move that many people, or are they hedging in case one is on the disabled list come game day? Maybe available for trading for a couple backs, ends, a place kicker and play to be named later?

I have heard of teams retrofitting leased aircraft for "big and tall" guys where the cabin is all basically first class..i guess buying their own jets,having them done inside to accommodate as with the leased aircraft,is probably a better deal all the way around..and you know these teams are financially stable enough to afford it!(still have to hire flight deck crew and flight attendants however,that were provided on charters!)

So I am sure they will charter these planes out for a charter venture for more business. Otherwise, why would you need two to fly max 15 team flights a year. Unless, they cheap really used ones that you expect to break down often..

registration numbers anyone??

Just hope the NE Coaches don't train the crews - the FAA frowns on making up your own! Which is the way they do things!
