I'll bet I'm the only person here who's ridden on a blimp? Back in the late 80s the Slice (a defunct soft drink) blimp let you pay a couple hundred bucks and took off from the Oakland airport, floated out over the SF bay and over the golden gate bridge, and returned to the airport, where it was caught rather than landed. Pretty fun.
And that's my blimp story. See if you can top it.
My parents went up on one of the good year ones that's based in Florida. I can't remember how exactly it came to be - my dad operated on somebody who either was a blimp pilot or otherwise had an in, and then they got to go up. Apparently it was just an insanely cool experience.
