Finally, a topic I know almost nothing about … flying a blimp, or as it is more commonly known in FAA language, an airship.
This well-produced short video tour and introductory flying lesson of the newest of the MetLife airships, the Snoopy 3, is narrated by airship pilot Charlie Smith.
Watching the Goodyear blimp at AirVenture a few weeks ago makes me sure this piece of video is worth the 3 minutes it will take to watch it.
A light sport aircraft it isn’t. In fact, this is nothing like flying an airplane.
Enjoy
