Fat Albert
Drug-tracking Fat Albert blimp in the Keys will be deflated in March
Quote:
Fat Albert, the familiar military blimp based on the bayside of Cudjoe Key, is set to come down permanently on March 15 after keeping watch over the Lower Keys since 1980.
Due to federal defense funding cuts, the U.S. Air Force's Tethered Aerostat Radar System, comprising Cudjoe and eight other sites along the Gulf of Mexico, Mexican border and Puerto Rico, will shut down ...
Fat Albert was a landmark, telling me "you're almost in Key West". He's still in FS - just take off from KEYW runway 9 and fly low up the Florida Keys.
A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.

I bet the drug runners will be laughing all the way to the bank. Seems like a shot in the foot if you ask me
.....But then, no one is likely to anyway.......

There was just a story a couple of weeks ago about these types of systems being deployed around Washington, D.C.
