Just a Note of Interest Elsewhere
Years ago, and I mean a lot of years ago, I worked in a blimp hanger. Yep, a real blimp hanger. But no, I wasn’t making blimps, at that time it was a kitchen cabinet factory for Westinghouse outside Elizabeth City, NC.
I recently looked up the site on Google Earth, and was intrigued to find a blimp in the satellite photo. The former WWII base is now home to a radar balloon company. They used to be located in the wooden hanger on the property near our metal building, which looks like a big Quonset hut. But the wooden hanger burned to the ground a couple of years ago, and the company bought the metal hanger to set up operations. Now all that stands where the wooden hanger resided are four large double columns that provide some interesting shadows from the Google Earth satellite photo.
Anyway, I posted this to a website that specializes in strangeand interesting “things” on Google Earth.
