Met Life Blimp passed over Botetourt County routed to Tennessee

Metlife Blimp Snoopy 2 passed over Kroger around 4 p.m. yesterday.

The MetLife Snoopy 2 Blimp came over Botetourt County yesterday Sept. 13,  with a clickety- clack noise that drew eyes to the sky.

After a bit of investigating– the Blimp website is not up to date– a hit on Twitter located the whereabouts of the MetLife blimp. There are several MetLife blimps,  including by  sight identification the Snoopy 2.

It was headed to Knoxville, Tennessee according to the Tweets sent out by the pilot and crew. The blimp will be at the the University of Tennessee vs. University of  Florida game on Saturday, Sept. 15.

The Blimp puttered over Tinker Mountain and 20 mins later passed over Blacksburg.
