But... as the PIC said. Speed is all relative. He was definitely right. It was the most fun I have had flying. It was awesome. Being in the blimp for the "landing" was a crazy experience. Any sudden bad wind or weather could easily destroy the blimp or seriously injure the people on the ground. The ground crew is definitely a dangerous job.
