A great article on one of the most amazing corporate fleets and private aviation facilities in the world - the Nike Aviation wing.

Air Hangar 1)
Built in 2002, Nike’s corporate hangar is aptly named Air Hangar 1 (a reference to their iconic Air Force 1 shoe) and can sustain flight operations to any of the six continents where the company’s employees and subcontractors work. The facility is capable of sheltering three full-size business jets, while also offering amenities like a gourmet kitchen, a fitness center, a lounge and lavish meeting spaces.





The Fleet is no slouch either:

Nike has operated many different aircraft over the years, mostly a range of Gulfstreams as well as a Dassault Falcon 2000EX. Today, the company’s flagship is a beautiful Gulfstream G650, wearing tail number N6453. Phil Knight also operates another Gulfstream G650 (tail number N1KE) for his personal use (see photos below).





If you need me I'll be the guy stuck flying Rouge for my next business trip....
