A Look At The New England Patriots’ Boeing 767

I wrote about how the Arizona Cards picked up a Boeing 757 that used to fly for Delta. The New England Pats have had a Boeing 767 for several years now, as the second NFL team to operate their own plane. There is a new video about that plane.

The New England patriots are on a plane.

I guess the team was jealous of the attention the team was getting for their plane, so they put out a video about it, which avgeeks will enjoy.

The video series called "Do Your Job" gives a behind the scenes look at various things that make the team run. The latest episode is all about the team, which is owned by the family of Robert.

The Boeing 767-300 is used by the New EnglandPatriots.

Some of the basics of the aircraft are mentioned in the video, but others are not.

There are some bargains to be had when buying used aircraft, as evidenced by the fact that thePatriots picked up two Boeing 767-300s.
The Boeing 767 that was dumped in 2020 is now operated by Eastern.
The 31 year old plane that was produced for thePatriots is registered with the registration code N36NE.
The plane was with American Airlines until it started transporting the New England football team.
The plane is operated by Eastern Airlines, so they provide the crews, maintenance, etc.
The plane is in a premium configuration, with most seats being the equivalent of what you would find in domestic first class, and football players are typically larger than your average passenger.
Picking up a cheap plane on the secondhand market can be a good option because the logistics of chartering with airlines can be difficult.
In the last season, the team traveled over 17 thousand miles for away games.
In addition to the primary mission of transporting team members, the plane has also operated all kinds of other missions, from picking up over a million masks in China early in the Pandemic to transporting healthcare workers to last year's Super Bowl.

The bottom line.

The New England Patriots became the first team in the National Football League to use a private plane to transport teams. The team was given more control over their travel to away games because of the complicated airline charter.

It is really cool to see how the plane is done in the video that the Pats just put out. The crews, maintenance, etc., are provided by Eastern Airlines, because they are a partner with thePatriots.

What do you think about the New England football team?
