Navy Airship Landing at Mobile, Ala. for Oil Spill Duty

MOBILE, Ala. - The MZ-3A (Navy blimp) lands at Mobile Airport, July 9, 2010, after taking off from Lake Front Airport in New Orleans. The blimp is capable of staying aloft and hovering over the region slowly so it can communicate to operators at sea where the best opportunities are to recover as much oil as possible.
