Guys,
All week I've been attending a summer program at the SUNY Farmingdale hangar over at KFRG. So far we've been in TRACON, the restoration hangars near Mitchell Field, the Cradle of Aviation, and we're sceduled to go up in the tower tomorrow.
But, today, I got up close and personal with the Metlife blimp, as mentioned in the news forum. The pilots are nice guys; they'll be heading to Southern California for the winter months but for now they're stationed, obviously, in NY.
Here are some shots of this awesome piece of aviation. I haven't mastered my "overcast" shooting, so pardon the crappy quality, lol.

It's an excellent program for young "aviation enthusiasts." Everyone who works there rocks. 8)
