Slightly above RPVs. (said in jest with great respect for the RPV folks who are taking out more terrorists leaders then the fighter crowd.

I live in New Jersy by Lakehurst NAS, and its quite common to see airships flying around, especially the advertising/camera ships. It is odd as they pass slowly over my house, so quiet

Not sure how many the "fighter crowd" is taking out; but the fighter/attack and attack crowds are doing good work :D

Great thread! Don’t knock the airship guys. They get to see a lot of good ballgames!

Considering right now, its civilian operated, doubt it possible. The Navy ship (MZ-3A) is COTS program at its core. It's an American Blimp Corporation A170. The ship flies decent, could have a little more power, but it's a nice airship. I don't fly the Navy one, but I'm in the only other A170 flying right now (in the avatar).

Not really. Even from 1000 feet, you can't see too much of whats going on, other than what the camera onboard is looking at. NASCAR is the easiest sport to follow from the airship.

KS - you said something recently in another thread that led me to believe that you weren't having the best time in the airship business.
How are you doing now?
