Random Pics of My Blimp

Postby Jakemaster » Tue Sep 27, 2005 2:18 pm

All I have flown for the past couple of days is the Defender.  While I wait for some planes to come out, I am enjoying flying this one.  Its kinda like my friend staceys keychain that says looking for the right guy, but having fun with the wrong ones.  Well, Im looking for the right plane, but having fun with a blimp.

Just landed in cleveland, getting lots of attention.

The sunrise on a hour long flight in hawaii: Very relaxing, and FUN!!!

Best seat in the house, especially cause of the amazing visibilty.

After landing at john rodgers field.  I like this pic because when I took it, I used f1 view to get the whole blimp, but also by scrolling out and zooming in, I filled the empty space with the inter Island airways hanger.

Ah, the good ol days when gas was only 15 cents

Just after my best landing at McChord AFB, with the large airship hangers behind me.

Brothers!

Nope!  And don't worry, my blimp has helium.  Anyone who has taken chemistry knows that filling a blimp with hydrogen is a bad idea.  KABOOM!!!

Jake, the second and third shots are beauties. Blimps aren't my speed, but these shots certainly do them justice!  :)

Glad you liked the shots, clip!  Don't worry, youll be seeing alot more of this thing for a while!

And as far as blimps not being your speed, the best thing they are for is relaxing flights.  They are so smooth in the air, that you barely need to do anything to fly them.  And they land almost vertically, and it is a lot easier to put it down on a small area than a helicopter.
