Wingfoot2

Not something you have the chance to see every day. It made a pit stop on its way to the airshow.
I never knew they had retractable landing gear, that was interesting.

Flew over us a couple days ago. It's doing the 100th anniversary tour I was told.

Dayton OH air show is this weekend. Not sure what we may see going home when it’s done.

All we see down here is the Goodrich blimp.
Memory check.

First time I saw the blimp IRL was some time in the early 80’s. My brother was outside and yelled at us (we didn’t have A/C so the windows of the house were open) that there was a blimp flying over the pasture. By the time we got out there to see it, it was gone. We were all thinking, you’re two weeks out of rehab and there’s a blimp flying over our pasture in nowhere North Carolina….. About a week later we all saw it. As best we could determine, somebody hired it for the bi-annual High Point furniture market and we were in its flight path to and from. Kind of surprising how big it really is.

In 2016 I was in Green Bay Wi closing on my late fathers lake cottage. I stopped in at the National Rail museum to check out one of the static Big Boy locomotives. At the time none of the remaining 24 or 25 was operational.

I came out of the museum building and doing a fairly low flyover was Wingfoot Two. Made for a interesting day.

Air Force brat born in the early 50's. Saw military blimps all the time as a kid. Pretty much have to go to a NASCAR race to see one these days.
