Caught this from a quick snippet at justin.tv/ronpaulblimp


The blimp was photographed with the weather camera for News4Jax.com. I captured the photo and uploaded it to the following link:

How low does it have to be for people on the ground to be able to read the writing on the sides of the blimp?

It doesn't fly that high. They were flying around 600-700 feet earlier to utilize air currents so they can get to where they are going in time.

The blimp usually travels around 1200 feet.

Here are some fun facts about the blimp:

The News4Jax picture is grainy as hell. My mom lives in Jacksonville, and I can tell you two of the buildings in that picture have writing near the top which is actually quite visible, but you can't make it out at all (or even tell there IS writing) in these pictures.

Even the original before uploading to imageshack.us is grainy. It's just their camera.

Regardless... that's our (funded) blimp!

Did we get any reports or articles from news4jax ? Or is the city of jacksonville going to see the broadcast about it on the weathercam?
