Hmmmmmmmmmmm........ I hear that it's a 3 week school.

2 weeks to blow it up and 1 to learn how to fly it.
 
No thanks. I've heard that the V1 cut in the blimp is a bitch to handle.

yeah but if you hit something you are only doing 20kts and you bounce off!

Does it count as multi time???
 
Even though I just got hired at Southwest, this might be a blast until I get a classdate. I just sent in my app! :p
 
I don't mean to be a downer, but here's a voice recording of an actual blimp crash.
