Looks like teh google enjoys skiing near Salzburg.

762 max at MTOW is 6590nm. The GoogleJet probably does significantly better than that...SFO-ZRH nonstop with room to spare.

Gotta put that cash somewhere.

Wouldn't that be hilariously surreal? The GoogleJet cargo hold door opens, and out come a few ski bags, some luggage, and a wrapped pallet of cash.

Nice. Though, i think the chicken would win the fight.

Do you think they would have to pay for oversize luggage for ski's and cash pallets , or does Google Air allow 2 free pieces of luggage and a bag of cash per passenger

Per A.nut TK to introduce twice-weekly IST-DKR-GRU route on the A343 from early 2009. Now there's an intriguing redemption/FM pr0n option.

a.net has plenty of pictures of the Google 762. I saw it at EWR a few months ago - it's a very nice looking aircraft!

Haha! The person who took the picture of it at PHL is a former co-worker of mine. Small world.

Oooohhh...I like that. I was thinking about trying to do a RTW fully south of the Equator, but I might be convinced to hop back up to Turkey with a routing like that.

In other news, I'm watching the Red Bull Air Races. You gotta be nuttier than squirrel $hit to fly like that.

Dude I watched them live in BUD and is was simply spectacular. Amazing talent and equipment for sure.

Well hey, they paid NASA to park the 762 close to the office in Mountainview, err I mean funded a project at Moffett Field.

I looked at some of your other pics (MLE) and they are amazing, what resort did you fly to .
I can't believe I have been there 4 times and never went up in the sea planes
It looks amazing from above.

We stayed at the Conrad for a week, plus a night before and after at the airport hotel.

Flying MAT was a great experience, both for the amazing views and the pilots in bare feet.

And thanks for the kind words!

Yep. I'm all over that one.
