Hot Air Blimp..

This is, or was, the advertising blimp for a Pittsburgh newspaper, and it is filled with hot air , not helium. That has advantages:it's less costly to run, and you can inflate it in a field and get up there quickly.

 

The newspaper has a reputation for being very right wing, and the idea that a right wing newspaper has chosen an aircraft full of hot air for advertising...well, I can't even BEGIN to mine that rich vein of comic potential....
