Bye bye, blimp! The Goodyear Blimp has taken off from ACV and is on its way to Coos Bay, Oregon.

Look up! We have blimp! After experiencing a slight weather delay yesterday, smart phone owners countywide have spotted the Goodyear Blimp penetrating Humboldt airspace this fine, exciting Tuesday. It may have already passed over your head! 

Status report! Around 2 p.m. the blimp was spotted above Richardson Grove. The video above was sent to us by a reader who saw the blimp above Rio Dell at around 3 p.m. Some 20 minutes later it was seen above Fortuna. Thing is movin’! So you might want cast thine eyes upward, Eureka and/or Arcata. You too could secure yourself a grainy photo or video to one day show the grandkids. 

And now, ladies and gentlemen, Ice Cube…
