Resting for the night @ KAVQ

The blimp, she is mocking me... I did not win a ride in it. So now it flies really, really, really low over my house.

Blimps sound funny. Also, there is a spot on my lens. I managed to crop it out on these shots, but I better clean it before I forget.

Looking up at old glory..

From the archives: Workers prepare the Holden blimp for departure from Essendon Airport in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Sitting in the pilot's seat looking forward.

Ready for anything from football stadium flybys to secret aerial business

meetings, it's the Make Magazine corporate blimp!

Many thanks to Hobonicus Engel from HoboTech Industries for creating the

custom Make version of his Oberth Class Corporate Airship.

When it isn't hovering over a sports stadium the Goodyear blimp fills-up with laughing gas and spreads humor around San Pedro.

One of Tustin's WWII era blimp hangars. Some of the largest wooden structures in the world if not the largest. The city is planning on tearing one of them down in a typically shortsighted move in order to cram more shittily designed and built housing tracts onto the valuable parcel of land the hangars occupy.

Captain Freitas what a guy works during the day at his regular job and at night is a blimp pilot!!! LOL just kidding...

The Goodyear Blimp was floating over SE1 this afternoon.

The sun was setting and the blimp flew overhead and then started to turn.

Our beagle spotted it above the house and raised the alarm, so I just had to grab my camera and shoot it.

Built for speed, used to transport high level dignitaries!

It looks a lot bigger when it is night next to you.

The video quality of my point and shoot in the dark is really bad. Oh the humanity!

There is a video of my flight in the Blimp here.. vimeo.com/22813997

Goodyear blimp flying over the Atlantic Ocean in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Barely seen is the Goodyear Blimp just outside my window (horrible shot). The Goodyear Blimp practically went over my building. I could see it a lot clearer than it appears in this picture.

Kayak at the blimp base on Cudjoe Key, with the Budd Keys (at right) and Tarpon Belly Key (center) in the distance. Budd Key is one mile due north. Although I took this picture in the fall of 2004, it has shown up on a couple of other websites!

This is the goodyear Blimp as seen from a Chalk's Airline flying boat cockpit taking off from Watson Island, Miami. View is east out Government Cut and the Blimp is over Fisher Island.

Collection of Airship parts in storage , hopefully to go on public display in a proper indoor museum someday. There are Gondolas and fins from Airship Industries Skyships.

This blimp has been flying around Lethbridge since last week. It's a

marketing gimick for Bell Mobility.

Snapped at the Hillsboro Airport. I believe this blimp was manufacture right here by American Blimp Corporation. Here's a link to photos on their web site:
