The blimp is back
High in the sky over Akron, Ohio early Wednesday was a blimp -- the Lockheed Martin developed first-of-its kind High Altitude Long Endurance-Demonstrator (HALE-D). Apparently the first flight didn't go nearly as well as hoped although it's being billed as a success.
The aircraft launched at 5:47 a.m. and reached an altitude of approximately 32,000 feet, according to Lockheed.
