"It's a lot of waiting," Lichardus said. When they're not waiting, they're communicating with the pilot via cellphone and text-messaging, setting up and taking down the mooring mast, and maintaining their equipment and trailers.

Rut Roh, I don't think the FCC would approve.

There’s a difference between “blimps” and “dirigibles”. The article uses the terms interchangeably, which is confusing.

I worked briefly at the 76 Union station in Huntington Beach. One day a Goodyear blimp did a touch and go in the empty lot across the street. The control the pilot had of that blimp was just astonishing. Scared the you-know-what out of me because I thought he might be crash landing. But he was just having fun. That was an interesting time.
