I think this is a fantastic idea, and a real asset to the community.
ReplyDeleteMy only suggestion would be to NOT have advertising on the side of the blimp. Its going to alienate the community if this thing turns into a billboard.
Unfortunately carrying passengers alone won't pay for the costs of operating the airship, advertising is a necessary piece of our revenue stream. Unlike all other blimps, because we do have some passenger revenue, we can afford to be a little more choosy than just the first company that pays the money. We have high standards and have no wish to be carrying objectionable branding around. When we advertise, it will be with high quality partners and we'll do our best to find other solutions, such as finding a Foundation to pay for some public art.
