It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a... blimp?!

These guys have just started doing airship tours in my area, and take off and land from the joint civil-military airfield near my house. So in the last week, we look up and see this huge airship going overhead!

Starting at $500/hour, this is the closest I'll be getting to it.

Love to watch them. They fly so low! Only occasionally see them here, I guess en route to a sporting event.

That would be so cool! Alright, next time I'm in San Francisco, I'll shout you a trip!

I think they are cool looking, but you won't catch me in one!!!

We live near a race track so we always get to see the Goodyear Blimp flying over town.

Over the river and through the woods...
The Goodyear blimp goes over our house occassionally too, usually en route to a Steelers or Redskins game. I remember the first time I saw it when I was little I thought it was a space ship and it scared the crap out of me!
