Ron Paul Blimp: Takeoff - "The Roar of Freedom"

[TRUr3VOLution]

why hasn't this been done for 2011? I pledged on Ron Paul Blimp dot com to help fund.

[kiddailey]

@TRUr3VOLution No idea. I'd use the contact form on their site to ask the question. Looks like they didn't get very many pledges.

[TRUr3VOLution]

@kiddailey But this is like the coolest thing I have EVER seen! Ron Paul's campaign needs to have "Blmp $ Bomb" We could raise a million in no time. I will continue doing what I can as will my wife. This blimp needs to fly again! Last time I guess it was around $1,000,000 for 10 weeks w/ pilot.

[TRUr3VOLution]

@kiddailey Well we need to have a "Blimp money bomb". $1,000,000 for 10 weeks last time around. We could raise a million easily in one day. This blimp should be flying!!!!

Just like the RPR itself, takes a little while to get going, but once underway - LOOKOUT!

Why isn't this the top story on the networks?

[TheFreedomRevolution]

Beautiful!

Great video footage! It is a sight to see taking off, believe me it looks even more impressive in person. I would highly recommend seeing it take off. Also, if you guys see Trevor, Elijah or any of the other blimp crew make sure to buy them dinner or shake their hands. Remember they are pretty much "volunteering" their time to the cause.

[kiddailey]

Yeah. I got to shake Elijah's hand as he asked me if I was the with someone (I assume it was a video crew) or just "someone who showed up with a nice camera" :) He was busy organizing stuff though, so I didn't get a chance to thank him in person - I sent an email to the crew later.

[clayr09]

To move the point, I saw them on Christmas Eve away from their family and friends in a strange city (Elizabeth City, NC). Make sure they know that they have friends in every city.

Now that was an amazing ride! The Ron Paul rEVOLution is in full swing!

[odigity]

Woa... didn't realize it takes off so steep. That's bad ass. Get vertical!

[biminitwst]

Too bad after all that trouble they couldn't get permission to fly over the Citrus Bowl.:[

[kiddailey]

They did fly over it. I've got video of that too with thousands of people around. They just had to leave (as most of the other stuff flying over) before the game started.

[gcdugas]

Post it!

[racerwowak]

Please post those videos! I was there but when I left Brevard Co. early to make the trek over I forgot my camera equipment.

Cool!
