The Patriots’ team plane is making its most important trip of the year before the season even starts.
Thursday afternoon, the Boeing 747 will land at Logan International Airport, carrying 1.2 million N95 masks that will be delivered to health care workers in Massachusetts and New York.
Gov. Charlie Baker and Patriots owner Robert Kraft will be on hand to greet the plane when it arrives at Logan, and the National Guard will transport the supplies to a stockpile in Marlboro.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the quest began two weeks ago, when Baker sealed a deal with Chinese manufacturers for the masks but needed to figure out how to transport them to the U.
