Watching a Blimp take off

Last week Dave and I saw the Blimp heading in for a landing and stopped at the field to watch. Turns out they were unloading and loading passengers so we got to see it take off. Such a cool thing - pretty much right here in our back yard. We often see it flying over the house or when we take a drive to Hartville Hardware. We saw it crash while driving by on Rt. 43 in October 1999 but didn't realize that it deflated until we heard it in the news later that night. I'm glad they were able to repair it!

Here's more information about this Blimp -
