Just heard a few minutes ago on PRI that one of the Goodyear blimps, G-TLEL, "Spirit of Safety" was lost Sunday along with its pilot whose actions fortunately saved his passengers and crew sacrificing himself in his action...sad day and my condolences to his loved ones.

God bless the pilot, Mr. Michael Nerandzic. Duty and safety came first before him.

RIP Mr. Nerandzic and thank you.
