NC Pilot
Cleared for Takeoff
I went to W03 (Wilson, NC) today to practice some landings and was surprised to see the Goodyear blimp there getting ready to depart.
Took a photo on the way in, but it was departing (into the wind BTW) as I got to my tie down. Closest I've ever been to the thing and was surpised at the ground roll it used (a couple hundred feet) before launching, then climbed at a steep angle away from the airport.
