Probably the first proper simulation of one at least...

A lovely idea but I don't think I would use it more than once.

A balloon? No thanks, the 152 is slow enough if I want something really slow 🙂

Pah!  This is just a load of hot air!

Sorry, somebody had to say it first.  :unsure:

For $15, I might just try it for its novelty value.  Will it be AI in the sim also?  That would be great to see loads of these going up in the morning over a park etc.

Call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind, but I prefer Rob.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Could be a very serene (and slow) way to take in the great scenery MSFS has to offer.

No joke, this actually would be pretty fun. I wouldn't pay a lot even for a high-fidelity blimp, but as something to have in the hangar for an occasionally fly-about, this could be a good time.
