Google had some deal in which they could base their planes at NASA's Ames Research Center, but only if they bought an Alpha Jet for NASA to use. And before you imagine that we're talking a couple of King Airs or the like, Google's corporate fleet includes a Boeing 757, a 767, and at least three G-Vs. So being able to keep those jets nearby at Moffett Field was a pretty sweet deal for Google.
Even sweeter was that Google helped themselves to millions of dollars of jet fuel at government prices. Which they now have to pay full price for, because they were found out. Google says it was all a "misunderstanding".
Yeah, right.
Amazing how the tech start-up, whic had a motto of "don't be evil", has now proven itself to be doing one evil turn after another.

Not to mention those damned gigantic Google buses blocking all the bus stops so that those of us who need to get to work via public transportation end up having to walk into traffic to catch our buses because the Google buses are (illegally) parked in the bus stop. And to piss me off even more, the cops *never* give them tickets for illegally blocking a public bus stop! Then they whine that people who complain about being blocked from getting to work are just "jealous". Evil. Just evil. Google, that is.
The Google mantra really should be changed to reflect their own actions, namely: "Throw rocks at others, but leave your own conscience at the door".
Google's 767 (the one with the fancy bedrooms) doesn't seem to be blocked from the tracking sites. N2767.
