Back in August, the New England Patriots became the first NFL team to buy their own planes, two in fact (go big or go home when you’re 5-time champs), and now we get to actually take a look inside.
The two 767 Boeing wide-body jets they’ve dubbed “AirKraft” have been customized them with the team logo and five Lombardi trophies on the tail. The plane contains all first-class seats that can recline all the way back into a bed.

Not only that, Chief Operating Officer Jim Nolan says these seats are the widest and largest they could fit on the plane and all of them have five more inches of leg room than your typical first-class seat.
The planes reportedly cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 million. It’s good to be the champs.

I came for the defense jokes, cause we all knew they'd be here.

Is “air kraft” the new pseudonym for opposing QB’s QB rating?

Can the planes play defense?
