Horizon blimp one of just 20 in the world

The Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey airship will cruise the state through October.

Spent any time at the Jersey Shore in the last several years and you've probably seen it. Maybe even heard its drone. It's the Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey airship, which has cruised the shoreline for the past 10 years. That 132-foot, white and blue blimp is rarer than you may imagine, reports the Toms River Times: one of only about 10 airships operating in the United States, and a mere 20 worldwide.
Read the full story.
See the blimp's flight schedule.

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.
