Once again the poor rich people are outdone by the Mega rich. My heart goes out to the guys with private jets having to land in San Jose, and then the 2min ride in the limo to the heli pad, its just sad, very very sad.

It is a amusing story, did you see where the local people of Sunnyvale are opposing basically any aircraft using the field (including Google)
"To this day, Sunnyvale, which is on the Moffett Field flight path, has a policy statement opposing "commercial aviation, general aviation and air cargo at Moffett Field.""
Even thought they chose to live in the flight path to Moffett Field.
I say good for Google, or any other company that signs a agreement to use the field. We need to open up more airports (and build new ones) instead of closing the old ones down.
