Used to see B-52's and the B1's fly over my house all of the time then after the gulf war broke out I guess they didnt have to have dry practice runs anymore because I didnt see them much after that.

Used to see a couple blimps a year fly over too.

When I was in JR High we were practicing football on our field instead of the practice field. One of my teammates yelled at the coach "look its the Goodyear blimp".
Coach told him to shut up and stop goofing off and to get a lap around the field.
Then we all heard the buzzing sound of the blimp and watched it fly over. It stayed at our local airport that night. Local paper said it was traveling from Dallas to Kansas City..

I think I’ve seen damn near everything man’s ever invented to fly. Except the Goodyear Blimp. That’s cool

Flew on a Huey over the Skyway bridge in Tampa. The height perception when looking out the open door is fun. Looked like we were only a few hundred feet up. When I asked, the pilot said 3,000 ft. I still think we were only a few hundred.
