    This is a first for me. When I was a kid I've seen a few blimps on occasion. I remember when the Sanyo Blimp came to Smyrna TN when i was a kid and i lived there. And the Goodyear Blimp. When I moved back to Emporia KS I saw the Budweiser Blimp passing through and the Sanyo blimp stopped at our Emporia Airport.

    Looks like they're over a stadium and they have their own base for the blimp.
