Blimp lets Navy test airborne equipment

[nhboy]

"The huge, all-white, lighter-than-air craft occasionally seen moving silently across the skies above St. Mary’s County recently is called Skyship 600. For the past several weeks the commercial airship has been staying at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, where it’s been used as an airborne test platform."
