So that is what the BLIMP is about!
The BLIMP fascinates me ....... and baffles me ...... at the same time ...... cuz fuh some strange reason ...... whenever I spot it ....... or hear it ....... I get really excited ...... and point it out tuh other people ..... and I might even pull out my camera and snap a few pics ...... but then ...... when the excitement subsides ....... is like ....... what de rass dat ting does really do bwoy?!
Well ...... today I was finally enlightened ....... by dat ad below ..... I now know what that Big White Elephant Balloon is about!
And the good news is ..... de ad is ah vacancy ad ..... yes ..... SAUTT lookin fuh BLIMP fliers ..... so if you think you'd like flying around ..... in circles (and sometimes straight lines) ..... in the sunny Trinbago skies ..... fuh many many hours ..... at 'watching grass grow' speeds ..... gaping ..... making noise ..... pretending tuh gather intelligence ..... and basically wasting loads of time ...... then you're in luck ...... yep ....... fuh those of you looking fuh dat dream job ...... you can now be a part of our amazing Airborne Law Enforcement Team!
What ..... an opportunity!

PS: ..... look some of my awesome BLIMP pics

Jumbie and KC ..... I did take note of the qualifications ..... and was kinda surprised actually ..... cuz I assumed yuh would need 'more' .....
But why would anybody want tuh fly de Blimp anyway ...... cuz I'm thinking ...... if I had my commercial pilot licence ..... I eh want tuh fly no blimp ....... I would want tuh fly ah real airplane!
..... and Angie ..... apparently the Blimp is now piloted by Americans ...... who muzbe ready tuh go back ..... so I guess that's why dey lookin fuh locals ..... I doh know ...... den too ...... de Govt muzbe forkin out a pretty penny tuh pay said Americans ...... there's an article in today's Express about dis whole scene ..... doh sound like dey gettin more tho ......

How exactly are they fighting crime with a blimp? At that hight you can hardly see people on the ground! I'm wondering what they are doing up in there?
They could use the blimp instead for travel between the 2 islands.

Thank's Scene.
I wonder how effective this is though?
Check out the comment section, the one starting with: Can I do it... ROFL
Reply to this
You wonder???? ...... wonder no more ...... it serves no useful purpose ...... it is highly ineffective ...... as a matter of fact ...... the Blimp has probably caused crime to flourish ..... cuz now the bandits know when not tuh strike ...... yep ..... bandits have ears too ...... and just like us ordinary law abiding citizens ..... dey could hear when it in de air (lookin at dem)!!
PS: those comments are hilarious

If they ever make a sequel to Trainspotting...they could call it:
BLIMPSPOTTING
Starring Wuzdescene
That was a lot funnier in my head..

I don't know how I missed this but I am also fascinated by the blimp and even though I laugh whenever it floats by my house, I still manage to snap a photo nearly every time. Excellent photos Scene, and nice angles
