    Goodyear Blimp

    I was at the US Open on Sunday. A Goodyear Blimp was hovering over the Stadium staying well clear of 13 departures doing the Flushing Climb. She was too high for me to see the registration number.

    Nice shot! Where was she parked?

    And yes, it's N3A, "Spirit of Goodyear", based at Wingfoot Lake near Akron. I was out at Planeview and on the World's Fair Marina promenade on Saturday, and she was circling just south of me:

    The shot fdx924 posted looks to be at the famous FRG blimp-mooring station, down near the approach end of Rwy 32. That's where most blimps working the area park.
