Default Good Year Blimp

Was it in town for the Flyers? It went so close to the Comcast Tower. I have a shot on my blog about 1/2 way down. It went in and out of the buildings then over to the river and up to the Northeast.

Probably the Phillies game on Wednesday night, it was a nationally televised ESPN game.

The pilot looked eerily similar to Dan Gross. Keeping tabs onMarky Mark, Demi Moore and Owen Wilson?

I was surprised it could fly so close to the buildings. It was really close to the Comcast building and then the Liberty's

Yea, I always see them by the Northeast. They land at Northeast Airport, and you can see them alongside Academy Road when they are in the city.
