The Lightyear Blimp

[klond]

  The Lightyear Tire Company has provided us with many years of low-maintenance, explosion resistant quality products through their LY-series of fixed and retractable landing gear.  Fearing slumping sales they've released a blimp to advertise the company brand, complete with logo.

 

Unfortunately, due to copyright and frame rate issues, this version probably won't be released to the public.  Although a safer non-commercialized version is now here.

 

 Flights available.  Crafts seats 3 (1 pilot, plus 2 passengers if you don't mind your arm clipped through a panel).  Come take a relaxing tour with unique views of the KSC, the island, and local mountains.  Watch your favorite launches from restricted airspace!

 

Here's a sample tour.

 

 

 If you're 1.5.1 qualified and ready to learn how to pilot her, here's the kerbalx.  Careful, she's cursed by you-know-who.

 Special thanks to @erasmusguy for the cursed tech, @Azimech for the boost flaps, and @Castille7 for the moral support.

Looks good! It's also something different than the usual rockets and aircraft we see around here
