Appliances online Airship

Post by freqwaves » Tue Dec 02, 2014 7:57 pm

Well we have another Airship over the suburbs of Macarthur advertising Appliancesonline.com.au.
It seems to be working out of Camden airport. Not sure if it has it's own channel or will come up on the local controlled airspace channels.
Last blimp we saw in the sky was the one advertising Holden!
Might be coming to a suburb near you!

It was over the CBD at 1PM today. I scanned the airband and didn't hear a thing.
