Army Blimps!

So this is sort of a strange post, but I saw an article in the paper today about the U.S. Army issuing a design contract to Lockheed Martin and Aeros Aeronautical for a blimp/airship hybrid:



And I wanted to let everyone know that I TOTALLY had this idea in high school. You people laughed at my small obsession with blimps, but who's laughing now! Hahaha. Well...my idea was for a blimp shipping company, but that's easily extended into the Army. Blimps are back baby!
