The Blimp Parade Is Back! This Time In Boston

In 2012, Van Wagner Aerial Media and Van Wagner Airship Group (VWAG) launched a blimp parade over New York City. Awed by the blimps above, spectators took to the streets, and their cell phones, capturing photos, composing tweets, and recording video of the airships’ journey over Manhattan. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram posts flooded the social stratosphere, exciting the attention of the media and people across the nation.

Red Sox fans are in for a surprise this upcoming weekend. The DIRECTV blimp is flying East from Cincinnati to join the Hood blimp over Fenway Park to broadcast the game against the Seattle Mariners. According to an Archival Assistant from the Boston Red Sox, this duel flight will be the first documented case of two airships flying above the Red Sox turf during a regular season game.
