Keeping Up With Jerry Jones

Jerry Jones may have revolutionized the business of professional football with lucrative television contracts and state-of-the-art stadiums, but even he didn’t anticipate the impact his Airbus Corporate Helicopter, DC-1, would have on the Dallas Cowboys’ brand.

“We originally got the ACH145 for transportation,” Jones says. “We wanted to commute between the Star, our headquarters in Frisco, and the stadium in Arlington, but it also had to get us to other businesses along the Gulf Coast and North Texas.”

The logistic advantages can land anywhere, the 145-mph cruise speed is more efficient than a small airplane. Jones also uses the chopper to hunt wild game from the air on his ranch, making sure to replace the executive interior with camouflage surfaces for the occasion.
