No, it wasn’t a big game being televised live nationally from Sharp Stadium Tuesday. But, yes that was the Goodyear Blimp flying over town.

Wingfoot One, the newest of the Goodyear airships and an advance in dirigible technology, landed at the Covington Regional Airport Monday, and is scheduled to leave town Wednesday. Tuesday, the airship took flights over Newton County, training new pilots, giving media tours and taking a few Georgia Tech students up in the process.
