RIP WDL Blimp II

I recorded this little video two days before the blimp was heavily damaged and almost completely destroyed in the huge storm we had on June 9th. This is not really high-quality and was just meant as an example how the blimp sounds when it’s flying overhead – you know it’s summer when you hear the familiar buzzing! I had no idea then that it would be the last chance I would get filming and photographing it :-(.

Return of the Blimp 2014 Edition

17.5.2014 von Guido · Category: Blimpspotting, Planespotting, Skywatching


I’ve heard the familiar deep engine buzz several times in the last few days and saw it flying in the distance, but only today I had a chance to take the traditional first photo of our local WDL Blimp – and they have a new sponsor this year after they had to fly “solo” just with their own logo for a couple of years. It’s terribly expensive to actually fly with it, but the “Zeppelin” is one of the trademarks of our region and it’s always great too see it flying again after the winter hiatus.
