Blimp (n): A light-than air craft, ussually filled with a light gas
such as Hydrogen (back inthe Zepelin (sp?) days) or Helium. A large,
balloon-like sack holds the light gas, with a basket or similar
compartment to hold passengers and such slung underneath. The blimp's
balloon has a wire-like internal structure. When the balloon is full of
the light gas, it takes on a faceted shape due to the wire structure it
is attached to.
It's the thing flying over football/baseball/soccer(?) games. :)
So long...
