Airship passes By

It's been quite awhile since I've seen an airship traveling our skies. I had to run with my camera to catch a shot. You would be surprised how quickly they do move on.

This airship passed by about 11 am heading north toward the Virginia border right over the Outer Banks.

They are just too cool to see. I would love to ride in one.

Airship Spotting

Airship over Currituck
Airships have long been built in Elizabeth City, maybe 25 miles by crow from the island. The airships used to be a regular sight, out on trials, but we haven't seen any for awhile. I spotted one yesterday as I hit the causeway headed out. I caught up with it again as it floated over the farm fields on it's way back to E-City. It's a cool thing to see.
