The Mother of All Airships! (The Tomaso Collection)
Who said the “Round Mound of Rebound” isn’t a role
model?
This Blimp, Err Airship was recently spotted
hovering over Downtown Indianapolis, in search of the Brickyard.
Officially known as the Sir Charles-1, the
Barkley Blimp better known as “Chuck One” at over 900 feet long. Dirigible is a
highly maneuverable Airship filled with nitrogen and powered by two Lycoming IO-360-L2A turbofan engines. With a top speed of
nine knots.
As Chuck One was doing practice runs this March
in preparations for providing the exclusive aerial coverage of the upcoming
110th running of the Indianapolis 500. Since after all, it’s not what’s in your
ever shrinking wallet, but who can provide the best aerial coverage!
Goodyear Spokesman Jesse Ventura said although
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company had provided aerial coverage at the
Speedway for nearly one hundred years with its “Wing Wonders”. The Akron based
company would focus upon providing aerial coverage for its core business
instead.
Stating the fuel cost is just too expensive too
send our Wingfoot-1 from Charolotte to Indianapolis anymore…
