The Patriots Team Jet Has A Very Unique Coloring

The Patriots jet, which is used to take the team to away games, is colored similarly to the teams' red, white and blue uniform color scheme, and the team logo is clearly visible.

Or maybe majority owner Robert Kraft wanted to sample a massage parlor far from the one that got him in trouble in Florida not too long ago.

The answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind. The world may never know.
