Navy Blimp Will Return To Baltimore Area

Though it has only been gone a few weeks, the Navy blimp will once again make its return to the Baltimore skies.

The 178-foot airship, which is owned by the government and primarily used for research, will continue a mission to test aerial mapping sensors for the Army starting Nov. 12. The trek will begin in Beltsville and later continue to the Baltimore region, although a spokesman for the Naval Research Laboratory couldn't say exactly when the blimp could be spotted in the area.

"This is to compare data from the previous mission," said Daniel Parry, the spokesman.

To be brought to Salisbury and purchased by the Salisbury Fire Department. It will be used by the department for medivac purposes. It was recently seen at PRMC at the helipad practicing landing evolutions with the fireboat. A new assistant chief will be named at a later date to head the new SFD aviation division.
