It's Donald Trump checking us out. He wants to see how real estate is really done!

Was playing Orange Blossom last week and a Direct TV blimp was flying low over that area.

No matter that it is Direct TV, we still enjoyed watching it sail overhead!

Probably headed to Daytona beach for races.

Big events in Pittsburgh used to always draw a blimp, and when it did, they always stayed at the county airport away from major air traffic. My guess, it was stationed at Leesburg airport, and ready for the Daytona 500.

Maybe there are some golfers inside and they are trying to get the lay of various golf courses by watching the various golfers do their thing.

Shame! Shame! You still can't recognize a politician filled with hot air even when you see one.

It was the Village Rec Department's Blimp spraying Happiness Gas over the Villages.

According to a story in the Ocala Star Banner the US Navy is wintering a blimp in Dunnellon and the pilots have been flying in the area to practice their proficiency.

The Direct TV blimp has been flying all over Florida to advertise their product. They are not necessarily on their way too or from anywhere. They just fly around where people might see them. Boring job huh?

Thanks for the link. Saw this Blimp while visiting in Mar. Now I know who owns and operates it.

193Perhaps, but it's not every job where one can legally get high without consequence!
