    Raven's out of my metro makes smaller ones and sells quite a few to the military. They have a testing area out in the country a couple miles away from one way I can commute to work. Not uncommon to see one up in the air.

    Oh come on Metalbestos fox news is fair and balanced, right?

    Interesting report and I have to say there's no debating the gender of that blimp, even 10,000 feet in the air. DON'T POINT THAT CAMERA AT ME!!

    I'm sorry. It's been a long day.

    That's pretty cool. Taking old technology and combining it with new.

    Amazing how things of "OLD" are reinvented and find new uses. Long live Led Zepplin, simple old music?
