Really, do I need to describe this one? Its a blimp race. You've never seen one, I'd bet. Needless to say, if anyone has a cooler story for their first trip down the Hudson, I'd like to hear it. Just a few pictures of mine, and I'll link up a video or something I've found on youtube (already). On to the pictures

My ship got 2nd, which isn't bad. And, as promised, a video as found on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMYd_CG4DEQ
 
This is ridiculously cool! I love the reggae music in the video, very appropriate given the speeds involved. :p

The way I look at it, is the only country in the world crazy enough to have a blimp race is the US, so it is appropriate that we raced on the 4th of July and started at the Statue of Liberty.

Yes! Good to see we're putting our strategic helium reserves to good use! There's a Jay-Z song in there somewhere...

Big blimpin' in NYC.....

Darn, should have thought of that.


Yesterday. About 5PM on the 4th of July. The way I look at it, is the only country in the world crazy enough to have a blimp race is the US, so it is appropriate that we raced on the 4th of July and started at the Statue of Liberty.

Nice. I was there on the 3rd doing my own laps up and down the river in the Seminole racing helicopters. haha
