It was flying around a while, and I got some video and pictures of it. I will post them soon. Quite an interesting experience. Here is a wikipedia on the MZ-3A, for those who are not familiar with it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Blimp_MZ-3

Now this is a great video - it doesn't have that crappy music background that so many people think adds to the video when all it does it take away from it!

MZ-3A sighted again this past Wednesday showing off for the drivers on the New Jersey Turnpike. http://youtu.be/QUL47O5IU-c My wife dropped her iPhone when I had to brake abruptly due to people gawking at the aircraft rather than driving.

They were based at Boca Chica Navel air station just north of Key West. In anti submarine exercises they would drive us nuts because they could hover over a submerged sub for hours.
