I was raised in a town where we used to always see the Goodyear blimp in the sky. Now I sometimes see a different blimp here in Paso Robles.
Have you ever seen a blimp in the air? Have you ever been in a blimp?
What do you think a blimp ride would be like?
I took this picture of the MetLife blimp.

I love blimps and drones and with todays tech they only need one crew member to operate a whole fleet of them imagine having everything delivered by airships of all sizez and people too there could be all kinds of possiblitys and imagine the leveraging of time it would save. Sorry I trail off but i love those steam punk books and anime that i sometimes read. #steampunk #airships #future #CargoBlimp

If we're not careful, the skies will be as busy are our freeways with all those blimps and drones. In one way that scares me a bit.

@bagarad I guess I saw one the other day while running some errands.. They don't do this so much anymore but I do see one once in a while. This was some theme park thingy I saw the other day. My children used to be so excited on seeing a blimp when they were younger.

Seeing one is always a surprise. It's fun to see them.

A couple of companies had done such kind of stuff prior to their launch or even to gain some visibility and customers. It is not a regular feature happening here. As per the reports, these are expensive here at my place and as such only a few Big Companies did it. However, they presumably did not get the attention they needed. So some tried other ways similar to these blimps - one had a balloon filled with some kind of gas which allowed their balloon to keep floating and to keep a constraint, they had it all cabled and wired.
