It's funny that they say they are the first team to do this. The Seahawks used Paul Allen's plane for all the road trips, but they switched over to commercial a few years back. I'm sure it was a combination of costs and branding that caused us to switch.

I thought I remembered that too. Seahawks had their "own" plane years ago... Didn't they supposedly take it down to Denver to try to talk to Peyton Manning before he signed with them?

The Manning deal was in 2012. Pete and John flew out and surprised Manning and tried to get him to listen to what they had to say and perhaps come to Seattle for a visit. Allen sold the jet in 2007 and we went on to charger Hawaiian Airlines (later bought by Alaska Airlines).
