N2A (cn 4119) Pictured directly over my house in Tremont near downtown Cleveland, this blimp ("Spirit of Innovation") spent several days in the area filming live aerial shots during the NBA Finals in which the Cleveland Cavaliers ultimately lost to the San Antonio Spurs. Here's a nice closeup of the gondola and the camera mounted on the left side. June 14, 2007

Also, those two round things pointing toward the back of the cab are the propellers, and the tubes extending forward toward the propellers are air intakes that help fill the air bags (not the helium bags) when needed to lower the aircraft.

And those bumps/beads on the side are the LED lights that make up the night display sign. (I learned that from http://www.goodyearblimp.com)
