There was a lengthy article about it in the Wall Street Journal last week. It's legitimate; a wealthy guy is working hard to organize it, but no official entrants thus far. |

Don't rush out to stock up on 5 hour energy drinks or triple shot lattes' Sounds almost as exciting as bicycle drag racing |

Hmm Met Life Snoopy Blimp, couple of General Electric J85's... Could be a fun sprint to the finish... |

'ah....25 ZULU, caution for bag turbulence following the AETNA gas bag on short final...' That brings up a very long standing argument and question, is it possible to stall a blimp? |
