Horizon Blimp and other aircraft

Earlier this month, The Inky’s Shore blog, Downashore, linked to an article about the Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield blimp from the Toms River Times.

Included in the Downashore post was a link to the Horizon Blimp’s flight schedule. I was disappointed when I saw it because it did not appear I would be seeing it on either of my trips down the Shore this summer. Thankfully, it wound up cruising up and down the coast anyway during my week-long vacation.

In addition to this blimp, we saw several other interesting aircraft, several of which were at Atlantic City Airshow on the Wednesday of our vacation.

  • 2 A-10s
  • What appeared to be a P-51 Mustang doing loops
  • An old bomber or cargo plane that I cannot identify
  • Two types of Coast Guard helicopters, including the “Airwolf” type that we see flying around greater D.C. a lot these days.
