HP Hood Blimp

I was out on the deck grilling some chicken and heard what sounded like a very slow moving light airplane. Looking directly overhead, I saw the Hood blimp. Since HP Hood is headquartered in Chelsea, MA, the blimp is a regular sight around here as well as Red Sox games.

Thanks to my friends at Cape Ann Online I found out that the blimp is operated by the The Lightship Group a marketing division of the American Blimp Corporation. The blimp (model A-60+) can be illuminated from within--must be pretty cool to see.

  • Hi, the Hood Blimp is owned and operated by Van Wagner Airship Group. Van Wagner Airship Group bought American Blimp Co. and the Lightship Group in 2012.

  • Grace--thanks for the update. I haven't seen the Hood blimp in quite a while. It was pretty surprising to see it up our way.
