At about 4pm on 09-10-08 a blimp passed very low over our house. It was crossing underneath the RW 23 approach for KLBE and once clear than pointed its nose up and climbed a bit.
The sun was directly behind it so I couldn't get a picture. So we headed for KLBE and got one bad shot while enroute.

When we arrived at the airport there wasn't any sign of the blimp.
We got a shot of a Pennsylvania Police Caravan taxiing out to take off on RW 5

Then a shot of the Caravan climbing out, with our condo association in the distance. (It is about 5 miles away)

Then we left, only to find out that John McCains "Straight Talk Express" landed a few minutes later.
Today I will attempt to get a picture of it, from the house, as it departs KLBE after McCain's visit to the flight 93 memorial.
