Zepplins are rigid. Blimps are soft. That sucker up there is a hybrid between the two. I demand new nomenclature to identify this airship. I suggest 'Zepplimp'.

No, it is actually a Zeppelin. Blimps are basically gasbags and a Zeppelin has a rigid structure inside the outer covering, which this one does. It is built in Germany by the Zeppelin Company. It has been here in the US for a couple of years. I did not know it had been repainted to advertise for Farmers.

"MAYBE we'll pay your claim"? Surely that's a photoshop.

Yeah, that's a photoshop. It normally says 1-800-FARMERS. I was suppose to take a ride on it a few weeks ago but weather pushed back the schedule and it was cancelled, oh well...maybe it will come back sometime soon!
