AIRSHIP Sanyo 1 in the area.

Airship 'SANYO 1 ' just contacted Selfridge to request permision to enter the 'Delta' airspace. What is the Delta airspace? How large of an area does Selfridge 'control'?

It was on 120.150

Last heard, it was 1 mile south of Selfridge.

I found this blurb on the internet: St. Baldricks chairity event... SANYO NORTH AMERICA is donating a ride for four in the SANYO BLIMP! The lucky bidder can take their ride from one of many locations across the US and Canada where the blimp is scheduled to be. The SANYO blimp is scheduled to be in DETROIT this year on June 15, 17, 18, 19 and the 22nd

proceeds go to childhood cancer research fund.

I live off of 21 Mile, a half mile east of Romeo Plank and I was in the back yard at 12:30PM and saw Airship Sanyo headed to the northwest. It's been a while since I have seen a blimp. It was neat to see!!
