Patriots team plane used to fly soldiers from Germany to the U.S. for Memorial Day

One of the New England Patriots’ planes has again been repurposed for a good cause. As was confirmed by the club’s German social media account, @PatsDeutsch, the plane flew to Germany over the weekend to pick up U.S. soldiers and bring them home for Memorial Day.

The tweet was shared in response to a question about the plane being spotted at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, roughly 75 miles west of the German city of Frankfurt (where the Patriots might be playing a regular season game in 2022).

“When we do not need our plane, it is being used for charter flights or civil transports of military members,” the tweet reads.
