I expected a story about robberers and stalkers using FlightAware. What a blimp.

Lincoln is a town somewhat north of Bangor; getting up into woods, however one looks at it. I used to DJ, when at WGUY Radio(Bangor), record hops at Mattanawcook Academy up in Lincoln.

So one blimp closes the whole airport because it has to stay on the runway?
Hope a NOTAM was posted..

It would not have gotten much farther yesterday anyway.. weather down through New England has been low IFR and rain... I have not seen a Blimp go IFR.

Perhaps not actually on the runway, but near enough to it to render it unusable. Looks like the airport was carved out of the woods, there's not a lot of open area for blimp parking.

Hope a NOTAM was posted..
