Transit to Cinci

The transit from New Jersey to Cincinnati, OH made for some good sights along the way. The leaves are starting to change in PA especially in the valleys. The flight also brought me past some familiar places as I flew past Kent State University. Oh the memories! Also there are a number of corn mazes beginning to pop up which have some really cool designs. Check it all out in the photos below!

NYC at Night

Nothing quite as pretty as NYC at night time. Here is a video from when I flew the airship up the Hudson River towards Manhattan the other night.

Formation Flying

Blimps are rare to see when you consider how many there are in the world. Even rarer is to see two of them flying along together. Here is a little video and some pictures of 2 airships flying together back to the airport where they both are moored in New Jersey.

Beantown

I flew around downtown Boston today and took a few pictures. I began by passing by Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots and then flying up to downtown. I got some good shots of the skyline as well as Boston Logan Airport and Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. Its always a unique way to see a city from the blimp. A nice way to spend the morning in Beantown.

Shipping Up to Boston

We're up in the greater Boston Area for the Deutsche Bank Championship this weekend and the New England Patriots game next weekend. I took a few pictures on the transit up here which was a very enjoyable ride up the Long Island Sound. It began with a trip up the East River past Manhattan and then directly over LaGuardia Airport. From there, I flew up along the coast of Connecticut and Rhode Island to the Newport area and then up to Mansfield, MA. A picture perfect transit day!

A Rare Opportunity

Last week there was a rare event of having all three Metlife Blimps in one location as we spent a few days in New Jersey. Check out the slide show of pictures above I took of the three returning to the airport and the movie below.

Pictures from the OC

Every once in a while, I find pictures that were taken while I was flying and sometimes they find me. I always get a kick out of seeing them though. Its fun to see the blimp through the eyes of someone else. Plus it reminds me that flying the blimp isn't a dream; I'm actually doing it. Check out some pictures that were taken of Snoopy 2 while we were at Orange County Airport by clicking here.
Thats me landing the ship and putting it on the mast for the night. Special thanks to Tom Bushey who took the photos and contacted me through the comments section to share them with me. You took some really great pictures Tom! I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I did.

Keeping Busy

Well I've been keeping busy with the golf tournament last week in Greensboro, NC. I flew my first Sunday which was kind of cool. On the other days we were flying exposure over the area. I was able to get a couple cool pictures of University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill on one of the days. On another day, I took a couple pictures of NASCAR driver Kyle Petty's camp for kids with special needs, Victory Junction. Really an impressive sight from above; the quick pictures I got of it don't quite do it justice. Now I'm up in New Jersey for a few days till we ship up to Boston!
