By a street artist's blimping
Whimsy underfoot

Happy Blimpiversary to those who celebrate https://apnews.com/article/goodyear-blimp-akron-ohio-sky-anniversary-1facd6116ed9a627b82994e75e9d0366

In celebration of 100 years of the #Goodyear #blimp, there are three of them flying over downtown #Akron for three days this week. I saw them on my way home from work, but these photos were taken while I was out riding my bike. They practically flew over my house at their westernmost as they flew in circles.

I'll be at the Alt Street Market up Akron way, May 3, 12pm-5pm. It isn't on the street this time, it is in a building at the fair grounds. But it is for sure a market. Come buy my books and a horror themed candle or a little skull maybe. Also, bring me food from one of the food trucks.

‘The flying bum’: can a #UK firm making huge airships finally get off the ground?

#Airlander maker #HAV scales up to build world’s biggest #aircraft, which it says will have 90% lower emissions than a conventional plane at 90 mph

You could celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Goodyear blimp with a ride in the iconic blue-and-yellow airship, something only 0.0006 percent of Americans can say they’ve done.

The Olympic Games have more going on besides sport. There is a lot of infrastructure, celebration, machinery, and promotion that goes into making the games happen. Here are some of our favorite photos from Flickr Commons.

A #blimp! A blimp!

I had the chance today to visit a blimp crew. Awesome experience at Beverly Regional Airport near Danvers, MA.

A-170.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ride in a zeppelin?

We did just that on a recent weekend trip to Lake Constance in Germany.

Electrically heated hot air blimp. Is this anything? Is this a good idea?

I'm imagining it's given its initial heating on the ground, connected to grid power, which is hopefully renewable. The battery it carries is just to keep it warm.

Can it still increase its density with balonets when it needs to? Like a helium blimp? So it doesn't have to expel hot air?
