Odd sales call today.
I never thought I would hear this sentence.
“We made a killing with forced air masks during COVID but our blimp business went to hell.” Me: “wait, you make blimps?” Yes. Yes they do. And space suits. And space habitats. |

Not a lot of blimps out there right now. Only place I knew making them was Lightships Group. Thought they cut way back after the 2011 crash in Germany.

I feel you brother. A good blimp is hard to find.
I imagine owning a blimp is like having a classic Corvette in your garage. You tie that sucker to your house and it floats above it. Strangers drive up and are all like “yeah man, super cool blimp. My cousin’s neighbor had a 82. It was super fast. For a blimp. Hey, I’m pretty sure that propeller isn’t original...” Then I’m all like “**** you, the 82 is a dog.” As I climb into my blimp and split. |
