The New England Patriots are the only team in the NFL that has their own private plane. The owner of the storied NFL franchise, Robert Kraft, is doing his best to give back to his community and fans.
Kraft dispatched his Aero L-39 Albatros to fly to China and pick up over one million N-95 masks among other supplies. The Albatros has already returned from China, touching down on Thursday afternoon.
Robert Kraft is using the New England Patriots team plane to transport one million N95 masks from China directly to Massachusetts hospitals.
The plane will arrive in Boston full of personal protective equipment this afternoon.

The National Guard transported the equipment to a stockpile once it landed at Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts. “It is an honor for our family to be a part of this humanitarian mission,” Robert Kraft said in a statement. “We knew that purchasing greatly-needed N95 masks and providing the Patriots plane to expedite their delivery to local hospitals would immediately help protect our courageous healthcare professionals.”
“I truly hope that in doing so, we can in some way inspire others to find creative ways to give more in support of our doctors, nurses and first responders. It’s nice to care for those who provide such compassionate care for us,” said Kraft
