Flying Objects and the Park (dirigibles, blimps, etc)

[GeoUSA]

Timehop reminded me of photos taken in the park two years ago today.  Anyone remember other blimps/dirigibles over the years? I did not find other discussion of dirigibles on ParkFans.

I saw Shamu two different years as I recall.    Anyone have any details on the Minion flying over the park two years ago this day?

The minion was an advertisement for Despicable Me 2. It flew all over the peninsula as I remember seeing it multiple times throughout my day.

Wouldn't be able to see them in Banbury Cross anyway nowadays.

Wouldn't be able to see them in Banbury Cross anyway nowadays.

It's easier for me to pull out and check my phone for the time, than to maneuver around trying to find a gap between the Union Jacks and Grape Vines to see Big Ben's clock. There's no way I'm going to be able to see a high-flying object.

Anyways.... I remember seeing the flying Minion Blimp many times in 2013, it got many people's attention.
