ReconRat Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Nevermind. It seems it is found in somebody's backyard in Worthington.Now, does he get to keep it? Or at least salvage rights or reward like ships at sea?And who's up for going to Worthington and snooping around for a blimp?edit: muhahaha, news just gave out the address:an area resident reported finding it at 5916 Linworth Road at 7:37 AMhttp://www2.nbc4i.com/mgmedia/image/294/0/60970/hangar-1-vodka-blimp/ edit: muhahaha, "click to find out where the blimp is" on the Hanger One Vodka website...I don't think it's up to saying crashed in your backyard...

cmh_sprint Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Gen's first night flight gone horribly wrong. I read there was a NOS Energy Drink bottle and some broken zip ties found at Don Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Gen's first night flight gone horribly wrong. I read there was a NOS Energy Drink bottle and some broken zip ties found at Don Scott. I have done many night flights before. My friend is one of the line service guys and posted that he lost a blimp on Facebook. I am kind of curious to know who owns that one, I have never seen it before.
