First, thanks SO much to @Goodyear letting me tick yet another vehicle off my "things to drive" bucket list in the world's most iconic BLIMP, and for helping me give my dad the ultimate Father's day surprise!
Second, HUGE thanks to @visualapproachimaging for letting me use your drone footage in this video! They happened to be there the day we were flying the blimp in Chicago, and since it was coincidental they were nice enough to let me use their footage free of charge. If you live in the Chicago area, definitely hit them up!
https://visapproach.com/ And of course, thank YOU for watching! In addition to wanting to give my dad the father's day gift I think he deserves, I have a crazy goal to pilot/drive every distinct type of vehicle during my lifetime, and "blimp" is a really tough one to check off - so this was an incredible experience for me on multiple levels!
Also, I know I said I want to do another father's day surprise at the end, and I DO, but I think I first want to give my mom a crazy mother's day. Any good ideas? Leave 'em in the comments!
