Our airport provided a resting spot for this blimp as it travel through our area late yesterday afternoon.
It circled west of the airport for about twenty minutes, waiting for it's ground crew to arrive and set up a mooring vehicle out in the grass next to the west ramp.
Blimps are usually pretty photogenic, and this one provided quite a spectacle as it's crew inched it up to it's mooring post, with the late afternoon sun as a backdrop.
I didn't get any other details, so maybe someone who knows might check in with some info.
