Blimp Blooper

Submitted by ub on

Did you hear the one about the blimp that flew away from NORAD? Air command is assigned to the 52nd Combat Communications Squadron and may have lost priceless communications equipment needed for our national defense.

The top secret blimp that was tethered at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland has broken free and no decision on what to do. North American Aerospace Defense Command recently held a celebration commemorating 57 years as a command. The celebration was successfully organized by NORAD and U.S. Northern Command commanders.
