Drake, the rapper who has been praised in recent years for his “epiphany about climate change,” seems to have lost his way.
The formerly eco-friendly superstar took to Instagram last week to show off his new plane. It’s not a Cessna Citation X. It’s not a Learjet 60. It’s not a Gulfstream G550.
Nope. Drake got himself a 767.
Depending on the model, a 767 has a fuel burn rate of 17 to 21 pounds a minute. NBC reported that a 767 burns about 9,000 gallons of jet fuel on a cross country flight (or about 1,300 gallons per hour while flying), while a more modest Gulfstream G550 burns about 358 gallons per hour.
