I am super glad I am not the only one who thought this precise thought upon spotting the blimp today.
There is another one floating around also. I believe it is advertizing for Dicks Sporting Goods.
Yeah I saw Dicks hanging pretty low when I was walking my son into daycare this morning.
Oh, I bet you did...
Sorry about that....
The Giant Flying Dicks has hit Louisville? I remember it was all over r/boston a couple weeks ago!
Yup, saw that one this afternoon in Lyndon.
“Goodyear?”
“No, the worst.”
That 70’s show
If that 70’s Show used the joke it was an homage to the (arguably) best comedy of all time, Airplane! which did it first.
If you want to track them via FlightAware, their tail numbers are N1A (Goodyear) and N157LG (Dick’s).
This deserves more upvotes
I live in Bardstown and it flew over the house yesterday. Pretty awesome.
It flew over Jtown last night. Saw it at the beach

Do you live in a cuckoo’s nest by any chance?
Where?
Hovering around Valhalla Golf Club for the PGA stuff, Middletown.

Looks like it's based at the Wingfoot hangar in Suffield Ohio. Which is about 15 minutes from my house. We stop and watch these all the time. It's really amazing when two or all three are in town and they fly in formation.
Enjoy it. I often forget how much of a novelty they are for others.
When I first saw it earlier, I thought I was hallucinating
They’ve been launching and landing at Bowman Field here.
While in Louisville, yes. That specific airship is permanently based in Ohio.
I saw it this morning from Crestwood
They’ve been launching and landing at Bowman Field.
YOUR POILCE DEPARTMENT SUCKS
This isn’t news to us.
But it doesn’t say ‘ice cubes a pimp’ :(
