Large image view: University research in flight

Norm Harris stands next to BOB’s bright yellow trailer, custom fabricated at the Matanuska Experiment Farm by Mike Swanson. The trailer carries the fully inflated blimp, which can be rigged, sent aloft, used to acquire photos and then stowed away back in its trailer in as little as 20 minutes. This photo was taken on the way to the North Slope in 2004.
