Figures, Drew....

I actually prefer the Festo Ray


Their Smartbirds are pretty freaky too....


The Air Swimmers debuted at KTAI this year

The helium is good for about 2 weeks before it needs to be refreshed.

I was contracted to fly a 12 foot indoor blimp at hockey games at our local civic center for a couple seasons. That was a blast! Dropped coupons on people. People go nuts to catch a $1 off Pizza Hut coupon... It was a real pain to fly around with all of the currents from the ventilation, then if you got too close to one of the huge lights, the helium would heat up and it would instantly rise and hit the light and if you didnt get it off in time, would melt the envelope. Had a couple slow motion Hindenberg episodes but without all the flames and screaming...

This air swimmer looks way cooler and easier!

I didn't know you flew the hockey blimp! We went to hockey games all the time. Might've been at the same games without knowing each other yet.

Wow, reading a book right now that has the FESTO air penguin and manta ray repurposed into urban surveillance drones....(ZeroHistory by William Gibson)

I want a FESTO manta ray....looks so cool.
