Google to restore Hangar One and operate runways at Moffett Field
Hangar One at Moffett Field, 2011. (Mercury News)MOUNTAIN VIEW -- After designing driverless cars, experimenting with robots and secretly building a fleet of barges, Google is taking on a new challenge: running an airfield in the heart of Silicon Valley and restoring one of the area's most iconic buildings, once used to house Navy blimps.
Imagine what kind of data center Google put in the hangar. The super structure looks like it could be the basis for a new rack system. :-)
Google's plans for the Moffett airfield are unclear, although the agreement could allow limited commercial development, or possibly a museum or education center at the hangar site. The company declined to comment, saying only that it wants to "preserve the heritage of Moffett Federal Airfield."
